New Rhapsody Carved Back Flat Top

SOLD

my goal for the Rhapsody carved back flat top was to blend the the midrange and trebles of an archtop with the bass response and acoustic volume of a flat top. With its carved back and flat top the rhapsody is an outstanding example of a fine steel string acoustic with its own unique voice. the carved back projects the sound better and more forcefully giving you increased volume and enhanced tone. THe trebles ring true, the bass is powerful, and the midrange adds a beautiful warmth and balance to the overall sound. Don’t take my word for it… listen to the video clip below to hear how incredible and unique the Rhapsody truly is
