Beautiful Combination of Tonewoods The Viator features a selection of tonewoods that together provide a stunning instrument. Topped with solid sitka spruce the Viator generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. The spruce top is beautifully contrasted with the sapele back and sides which adds a slightly brighter sound with more top-end shimmer to the mix. Parlor Size The Parlor size guitar was originally designed with women in mind as its smaller body was meant to fit the petite frame of women at the time and the shorter scale length accommodated their limited reach. These days many different people play the Parlor size as its smaller body means it can be held closer to the body enabling more complex styles such as finger picking. Overall the Viator is a great sounding and affordable guitar that they can fit into small spaces for travelling convenience. Electronics As well as sounding beautiful acoustically the Viator electro acoustic is equipped with Fishman electronics. The Fishman Sonitone Onboard Preamp System features a soundhole mounted preamp with rotary controls for Volume and Tone that can be easily accessed to tweak your sound.
