Body Shapes
Herda acoustic guitars come in three basic shapes now - Dreadnought, Small Jumbo
and Orchestra Model. Jumbo, OOO or other can be added upon your request.
The Small Jumbo and Orchestra Model are available in non-cutaway or cutaway
formats.
You can consider different
body depth also.
Deeper body
configuration maximizes internal volume, has strong bass and powerful overall
tone.
Shallower body is a tighter, more focused, faster, more responsive and more
comfortable and ergonomic.
