Dowina Vintage Series Cabernet GAC (Swiss Spruce & Indian Rosewood)

GAC stands for Grand Auditorium Cutaway. This is Dowinas take on the traditional and ever-popular Grand Auditorium body shape. It's a similar size bottom bout to a dreadnaught but with a tighter waist meaning it sits lower down on the leg making it more comfortable to reach over the body. It digs in a lot less in the chest than a traditional dreadnaught but still carries the amazing voice and volume of a dreadnaught. It's a great alternative with comfort in mind. As I always say 'comfort is king'. The more comfortable the guitar the more you'll tend to pick it up. 

The Swiss Spruce top is an incredible wood that is grown at altitude making the grain structure far tighter than other Spruces which in turn makes it far more resonant with incredible sustain and harmonic content. 

Indian Rosewood is the industry's go-to these days as a replacement for the sought-after Brazilian Rosewood. Indian Rosewood is extremely well balanced with a subtle low end and lush top end that carries wonderful sustain. Dowina uses only the best Indian Rosewood in their builds making sure each one has not only beauty but incredible tonality in mind. 

Finished in an open pore finish which gives the guitar a truly organic feel. Letting the wood be the wood.  

What Dowina say

"Indian Rosewood is a well-known tone-wood for its balanced acoustic quality, beautiful structure, and full colour which makes Cabernet a guitar that fulfils the high expectations of its owner. The colourful design of the rosette and herringbone purfling is recognizable from a distance. "
