At Gold Tone, we’ve spent years crafting what we believe to be the best all-solid wood acoustic-electric guitars in the $670 price range. The result? The Festival Series—three beautifully designed guitars that offer premium features at an incredible value.
The Festival Series includes three distinct models, each available in Sunburst and Natural finishes:
🎸 The Dread – A full-bodied powerhouse with bold projection.
🎸 The Bell – A slope-shoulder design for rich, balanced tone.
🎸 The Parlor – Compact and comfortable, perfect for fingerstyle and folk.
Unlike many guitars in this price range that use laminate back and sides, the Festival Series guitars feature all-solid wood construction—a AAA-grade Canadian spruce top with Honduran mahogany back and sides. This results in superior resonance and a tone that only improves with age.
Satin Finish – Enhances resonance while allowing the wood to breathe.
Compensated Saddle & Fishman Pickup – Ensures accurate intonation and a warm, amplified tone with onboard volume and tone controls.
Grover 16:1 Tuners – Superior tuning stability and smooth precision.
Fast Neck Profile – A satin-finished, slim C-shaped neck for effortless playability.
Scalloped Bracing – reduces mass, allowing the guitar top to vibrate more freely for a louder, richer, and more resonant tone with enhanced bass response and dynamic range.
Optional Pickguard – Gives players the option to customize their look.
Upgraded Setup & Accessories – Includes a 20-point setup by expert luthiers in Titusville, FL, hand-polished frets, light-gauge D’Addario strings, a padded gig bag, and an optional Zero Glide nut upgrade for even better sustain and tuning stability.
With premium materials, expert craftsmanship, and thoughtful design, the Festival Series is truly unmatched in the $650 price range. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or looking for your next go-to acoustic-electric, these guitars deliver outstanding sound and playability.
