The AP11 is a slim-profile pickup that is positioned so it does not inhibit the natural vibration of the solid spruce top wood. Blending the magnetic pickup volume and contact pickup volume enhances both the overall tonal depth as well as brightness of the PA300E, translating its truest acoustic tone through whatever PA system you are using. And for fans of palm hits, the T-bar under-saddle pickup captures these percussive strikes beautifully, delivering a bass drum-like sonic response.
The jumbo-body acoustic has won over legions of singer/songwriters for decades. The solid German spruce top on this beauty is a legendary tonewood that has consistently won over many acoustic enthusiasts for its unique sonic signature. And the okoume back and sides tie in nicely with the spruce, offering its own tonal colorings for a really pleasing overall sound. Solo performers will love the PA300E as their go-to live instrument for its ability to wonderfully complement their voice.
