At the heart of its design is what is widely celebrated as the most iconic and versatile tonewood pairing in guitar making: a AAA-grade solid Sitka Spruce top matched with solid Rosewood back and sides. Sitka Spruce delivers broad acoustic projection and clarity that stays crisp under aggressive playing, while Rosewood provides a thumping low end and sparkling treble detail. This timeless combination makes the DSR26SN equally impressive in the hands of bluegrass flatpickers who need to cut through an ensemble, blues players seeking raw lower-end power, or singer-songwriters looking for a voice that perfectly frames a lead vocal. A matte finish allows the soundboard to vibrate without restriction for maximum natural volume. The Mahogany neck is topped with a \u003cem\u003estunning \u003c\/em\u003edark Rosewood fingerboard. featuring 20 frets constructed from 25% nickel for long-lasting durability.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Quartersawn European Sitka Spruce scalloped bracing supports the top, complemented by a European Spruce trapezoidal back centre strip and Mahogany reverse kerfing to bind the interior tightly while allowing the body to react instantly to a delicate pick attack. On the outside, a solid Rosewood bridge works alongside Ebony bridge pins and a precision-engineered Tusq saddle to maximise vibration transfer into the soundboard for extended sustain and rich harmonic overtones. High-ratio Der Jung tuning machines complete the headstock, offering reliable tuning stability across long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor plugged-in performances, the DSR26SN features the legendary Supernatural pickup. Designed by Brad Clark, former CEO of Maton Guitars and co-founder of Cole-Clark guitars, the Supernatural is the latest offering from the local Australian guitar pioneer. Clark’s products were known for the exceptional performance of his pickup designs and associations with noted players including Tommy Emmanuel, Eric Johnson, Keith Urban, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and more. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Supernatural Pickup System represents a significant advancement in achieving natural acoustic sound for live performance, faithfully reproducing the full nuance and tonal character of the guitar when connected to an amplifier or stage rig.
