{"product_id":"rathbone-r3cesb","title":"Rathbone R3SBCE No. 3 acoustic\/electric guitar Bocote","description":"\u003cp\u003e The Rathbone R3CESB combines solid Englemann spruce with beautiful Bocote, resulting in a spectacular-looking guitar. Similar to the tonal character of a maple guitar, this guitar delivers a powerful tone with excellent projection, filling a room with ease, whether strumming or fingerpicking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eA perfect all-rounder, the No. 3 has the same scale length as the Orchestra Model, but its body dimensions are closer to those of a dreadnought. The larger body naturally delivers a stronger bass tone without sacrificing clarity—that's the strength of a Grand Auditorium. However, the larger body doesn't mean this guitar is any less easy to play; quite the opposite is true. Its narrow waist allows the guitar to rest comfortably on the knee or hang easily over the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSolid Sitka Spruce top\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Sitka spruce is one of the most traditional woods used for guitar tops. This is due to its stiffness and ideal strength-to-weight ratio. Thanks to these characteristics, Sitka spruce offers a very dynamic sensitivity and a rich tone with many harmonic overtones. This makes it exceptionally well-suited to both powerful strumming and delicate fingerpicking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBocote side and back\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Bocote is considered an exotic wood and has both the tonal character and the appearance to deserve this name. It's a wood with high density and stability, good sustain, and excellent resonance. All this creates a warm and powerful tonal character. It's a beautiful wood for the back and sides of an acoustic guitar, and not just for its looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBone saddles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Bone saddles and\/or nut are much denser and therefore retain better tonal qualities. A bone saddle or nut produces a brighter sound with more resonance and a better attack. A bone saddle and\/or nut truly brings a guitar to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rathbone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53190706757969,"sku":null,"price":539.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/3508\/2065\/files\/Rathbone_R3SBCE_body_voorkant.jpg?v=1776345116","url":"https:\/\/www.radiobeurs-tilburg.nl\/en-nl\/products\/rathbone-r3cesb","provider":"Radiobeurs Tilburg","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
