Description
Baton Rouge AR11C/ACE Auditorium Cutaway Guitar
The AR11C/ACE captures a balanced, articulate tone in a compact auditorium body with cutaway access to the upper frets.

Solid Canadian cedar paired with mahogany back and sides produces warm, articulate tone with natural sustain and projection ideal for tracking acoustic parts in the studio.
Tone & Recording Character
The solid cedar top resonates with clarity and depth, cutting through a mix with presence while the mahogany back and sides contribute warmth and midrange that sits naturally in arrangements. Built with Baton Rouge BR-2P pickup electronics, the guitar delivers consistent amplified tone for direct-to-interface recording or stage work without coloration, allowing your playing dynamics to translate faithfully to the session.
