The Winterleaf TW9 features a Solid Cedar top which is a great tone wood. Combined with Mahogany back and sides the TW9 has a great, natural look and rich, loud tones. The body is a “Super Folk Cutaway” design which is slightly smaller than a standard acoustic guitar making it nice and comfortable to play.The cutaway aspect of the design makes for easy access to the higher frets which is essential for solos, virtuosic lead work and adventurous melodies.
