Carolina Series guitars have the authentic tone, design and feel of an American tradition. Designed by master craftsman Greg Rich, each guitar is handmade from hand-select woods and features pristine workmanship and a full, booming tone.

From traditional folk to progressive bluegrass, there are features on every Carolina to appeal to your acoustic style. These guitars feature a solid Engelmann spruce top, back and sides made of African mahogany or East Indian rosewood, classic fittings such as butterbean tuners and hand-cut abalone/M.O.P. detailing.

The big, well-balanced tone on these guitars is exceptional especially because of the pre-war style construction. The fully scalloped forward-x bracing is a 1930's style that adds strength and resonance to lower registers and more clarity to the highs.

Carolina Series I guitars are an excellent introduction for players who want a classic pre-war style acoustic with a booming tone and excellent craftsmanship.
