Guild CO1C Natural
Product Info
The CO-1C model is one of Guild's Contemporary series guitars. It features a Vintage F-30 guitar body with a rounded cutaway, a natural finish, patented Guild Neck Block System, solid western red cedar top, solid mahogany back and sides, Madagascar rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, mahogany neck, ivoroid binding, lacquer finish, pearl logo and abalone dot inlays.
The CO-1C also features the exclusive D-TAR Wave-Length pickup. The Wave-Length pickup and pre-amp from D-TAR, with the exclusive Load 'N Lock quick battery access system. Wave-Length is D-TAR's under-saddle pickup system that combines a thin, piezo transducer with an 18-volt, low-noise, high-input impedance preamp. Eighteen volts translates to twice the headroom and dynamic range of a typical 9-volt system. This means you can strum extra hard without experiencing dreaded piezo "quack." Simply put, the Wave-Length is the most non-invasive acoustic guitar pickup and preamp system ever, and is as sonically spectacular as it is visually discreet.
