The Rathbone No 8 is a superb value, all-solid mahogany electro-acoustic guitar complete with Fishman electronics.
With its Grand Auditorium body shape, the Rathbone No 8 is a versatile guitar, happy to be strummed, for single not lines, or for more gentler fingerstyle performances.
The body is constructed from all-solid mahogany, producing a warm, woody tone with a mid emphasis. Married to the body is a mahogany neck topped with a rosewood fingerboard set with dot inlays.
Wonderful as straight acoustic, the Rathbone No 8 also performs great when amplified thanks to the onboard Fishman Presys preamp system and Fishman Sonicore pickup. The preamp feature controls for Volume, Bass, Mid and Treble, a Phase switch. Low battery indicator. A handy built-in tuner with LED display is also present.
Other appointments include open gear chrome machine heads, a bone nut and saddle, and a rosewood bridge.
