SH550

The SH550, though popular in Jazz and Blues, is relevant to any style of music. A plethora of top woods are selectable on this semi-hollow body instrument, resulting in a typically lighter weight for a large-bodied instrument; F-holes are then carved into the top to further add to the resonant tone and classic aesthetic. A set-neck further adds to a fuller, long-sustaining sound.
