516 (2013)
Mahogany’s meaty midrange and fundamental focus take on another level of boldness and depth, especially in the lower midrange, with the spruce-top, noncutaway Grand Symphony 516. The neo-vintage appointment package includes an ivoroid rosette, ivoroid binding, and a Century fretboard inlay.
