Fully hollow by design, the AR503CE boasts a single-cutaway body that’s exceptionally resonant with the articulate vividity to enable crystalline natural expressiveness. A 16-inch top of carved Sitka spruce pronounces every note and chord with balance in projection, while the rest of its maple body ensures a detailed resonance that leaves no note unheard. Its bright and vivid note response is further accentuated courtesy of a dovetail 3-piece maple neck, boasting a profile cut to a Traditional Even “C” shape that helps fall comfortably into the palms of all players. Topping the neck is a 20-fret unmarked ebony fingerboard, enhancing sustain and offering sprawling space for musical runs through any octave.
