Key Features
Product Ref: 106001
The Dean St. Augustine features a solid spruce top, which yields crisp articulation and delivers a broad dynamic range. Its solid top is extremely versatile in nature, enabling it to accommodate numerous playing styles and techniques with ease, from lighter fingerpicking styles to heavier, more aggressive strumming patterns. Spruce is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright sparkling highs. Additionally, the solid top is coupled with solid mahogany back and sides, which generates a rich, full, distinct warmth with plenty of resonance. Its solid back and sides also deliver a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity to please most playing styles.
The Dean St. Augustine features a mahogany neck which delivers a sonically pleasing warmth and added resonance. Its mahogany neck also responds greatly to numerous playing styles, enabling it to accommodate fingerpicking, strumming, and more alternative techniques with equal ease. Additionally, the neck has a C-shaped profile, offering a comfortable, smooth playing experience up and down the neck as well as preventing the likeliness of a cramping hand. Furthermore, the neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard which adds warmth and clarity to the overall sound, as well as providing a smooth and energetic playing experience.
The Dean St. Augustine features a dreadnought cutaway body, which projects an enormous acoustic voice yet still maintains overall tonal balance. Furthermore, the dreadnought shape is well-suited to rock, folk, indie, punk, pop, and a player's unique style and technique. Its versatile dreadnought body offers a comfortable playing experience to those more comfortable with bigger-bodied guitars and players with a longer reach. In addition, the St. Augustine also provides comfort via its cutaway profile, offering easy access to upper frets and more challenging chords. Singer/songwriters are certain to love the dreadnought shape and solid wood construction, singers are able to push their diaphragm to the max without feeling too loud against the guitar's volume, as it will sing as loud as you do.
The Dean St. Augustine comes equipped with an on-board Fishman Isys+ preamp which offers basic sound tweaking for live and rehearsal settings. The Fishman Isys+ features rotary controls for volume, bass, and treble with a separate button for phase control. With these features, players are able to add a little more bass or treble to their sound, creating and shaping their own live sound to personal preference. For added convenience, the preamp also features a built-in tuner that has a bright, easy-to-read LED screen, providing players with easy and precise tuning for live sets, as well as being ideal for acoustic practice.
