The guitar’s combination of premium tonewoods makes it a great value for seasoned players, but it’s priced to be attainable for new players, as well. Its combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides is responsible for the W-520S’s beautiful voice. Let your guitar-playing journey start with an amazing instrument you’ll love playing for years to come – the Oriental Cherry W-520S acoustic guitar.
Sitka spruce top for great tone
Oriental Cherry chose a solid Sitka spruce top for their W-520S for both its look and tone. Sitka spruce has a well-rounded, articulate sound with excellent projection. These qualities have made it the undisputed leader for acoustic guitar tops throughout the industry. And because it’s a solid-wood top, the tone will age gracefully, with enhanced harmonics and greater tonal balance as the years go by. And Oriental Cherry improved their scalloped bracing on the W-520S to allow for more top movement, resulting in a larger low end and more projection.
Mahogany back and sides
The W-520S sports a body made from mahogany. This wood’s warm tone really impressed strummers. Its rich sound enhances the midrange frequencies while maintaining top-end clarity, making it great for strumming. The sound is gentle and full, which is ideal for vocal accompaniment. Combined with the lively and defined sound of the spruce top, you’ll love the rich tone you get from the Oriental Cherry W-520S.
