Johnson Carolina Series II w/African Mahogany Back & Sides

Johnson Carolina Series II w/African Mahogany Back & Sides

"Carolina Series guitars have the authentic tone, design and feel of an American tradition. Designed by master craftsman Greg Rich with quality control standards set by Scott Zimmerman, each guitar is handmade from hand-select woods and features pristine workmanship and a full, booming tone.

Carolina Series II guitars have the same excellent features as the Series I, but with solid back and sides in mahogany and a one-piece mahogany neck. The solid options for back and sides give the guitar a true bluegrass sound and body that's perfect for flatpicking.

From traditional folk to progressive bluegrass, there are features on every Carolina to appeal to your acoustic style. These guitars feature a solid Engelmann spruce top, back and sides made of African mahogany, classic fittings such as butterbean tuners and hand-cut abalone/M.O.P. detailing.

The big, well-balanced tone on these guitars is exceptional especially because of the pre-war style construction. The fully scalloped forward-x bracing is a 1930's style that adds strength and resonance to lower registers and more clarity to the highs. Players of any style will definitely hear the difference in this all-solid pre-war style acoustic!
