This acoustic guitar rocks both when you strum chords and when you let loose on the fretboard with some solo lines. The ST40 CW Natural provides easy fret access high on the neck with its rounded cutaway, as well as easy playability throughout with its smooth mahogany neck and Richlite fingerboard. We can expect the warm tones of the solid mahogany body and the clarity of its high-gloss solid Sitka spruce top. The Norman Custom inlays and Pickguard fit perfectly, while the strings run over a carefully crafted ebony bridge. Not to mention, the ST40 CW contains Godin Atelier's exclusive composite tapered reinforcement to optimize superior stiffness, deflection and structural stability. Finally, no Norman would be complete without the addition of the LR Bags Element system. The ST40 CW Natural HG Element is the ultimate guitar for the live musician.
