The unique Batson design eliminates sound hole feedback from mics, making these guitars perfect for live performances and studio recording. Batson’s over-sized sound hole provides composers and songwriters with an exceptional personal sound monitor to hear themselves in an experience unmatched by any other guitars in the industry. Batson’s proprietary bracing, bridge, sound hole, and tail piece design creates a distinctive voice with enhanced sonic superiority. This allows Batson’s guitars to excel in all types of playing styles from finger style to fold-rock rhythms to gipsy-jazz leads. 100% USA made.
