A stunning blend of tonewoods
The Vista Deer's top has been crafted from a wide variety of materials. Padauk, mother of pearl, blackwood, cocobolo, spalted maple, and teal abalone all combine to create a beautiful tone. Each material pitches in its own unique tonal quality to create this tone. Padauk delivers a clear tone and bright note articulation. Its blackwood projects a sweet tone, packed with a powerful punch. The maple produces tight lows and crystal highs, while the cocobolo offer sparkling treble notes.
This model's back and sides feature koa, offering a well-rounded and well-balanced tone that perfectly complements a variety of styles. Each piece of timber used to craft the Vista Deer's top offers a distinct and unique tonal character that together, deliver an incredibly versatile sound that is well-suited to numerous techniques and genres.
Luxurious playability
Its grand concert shape features a solid mid-range register due to its smaller body. It has been described as the ultimate body cut for stage and studio use. Thanks to the tapered waste, the overtones are kept in check and contributes to the focused and articulate sound it projects. This body is significantly smaller than the grand auditorium shape, providing a big sound, in a comfortable design. It features a short scale and lighter string tension, making it easier to play. Finger-picking styled guitarists will fall in love with the clarity and precision of this exceptionally designed guitar body.
Ready for stage and studio
The Vista Deer comes equipped with a Fishman Presys +, which provides you with the option to shape your sound for both live and rehearsal environments. Simply plug into an amplifier or a PA system and listen to your acoustic's natural tonal character come alive with the help of this sophisticated compact system. This preamp also features rotary controls for bass, mids, treble, and volume, as well as the added convenience of a built-in tuner. Everything you need for the perfect performance packed into one guitar.
