Here\u2019s a quick summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dreadnought \u2013 this&nbsp;iconic shape with large shoulders and large lower-ends are your all-around strumming and picking machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parlor \u2013&nbsp;Small but bold, these designs are known for strong projection of mid-range tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumbo \u2013&nbsp;This one looks like a dreadnought that put on a few pounds but uses that new space to bellow out still more bottom end and bigger sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grand Concert \u2013&nbsp;This throwback to the mid-19th century is a mid-size body that champions EQ in the mid- and upper-ranges, making it ideal for cutting through any unplugged session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grand Auditorium \u2013&nbsp;This design takes the best of the dreadnought but modernizes it by narrowing the waist of the guitar slightly&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many acoustic guitar makers also enhance fretboard reach with a cutaway.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rs-event.sg\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.13-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7637\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Sevillana 2101 boasts an all-rounder performance and responsiveness with its Grand Auditorium shape, and full solid top, back and sides offering the best possible resonance and sustain. Playability benefits from this shape as well, with its narrower waist, this guitar is more comfortable to hold than a standard dreadnought, and the added reach with the cutaway is a definite plus too whilst giving it a very stylish profile.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rs-event.sg\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.18-PM-235x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7638\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This guitar features all solid sitka spruce top, and african mahogany back and sides, top grade 1:18 die-cast machine heads, and a Zero Fret that aids in consistency of tone between open and fretted notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"294\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/psgsuites.com\/rs-event\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.24-PM-294x300-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rs-event.sg\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.24-PM-294x300-1.png 294w, https:\/\/www.rs-event.sg\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.24-PM-294x300-1-150x153.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/psgsuites.com\/rs-event\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.29-PM-300x191-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rs-event.sg\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.29-PM-300x191-1.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rs-event.sg\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-08-10-at-2.38.29-PM-300x191-1-150x96.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We got a chance to try this guitar out ourselves and were surprised at how comfortable it was to hold and to play.
