Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for fingerstyle playing?
The X6C/AC-AF is purpose-built for fingerstyle with its 630mm classical scale length and refined ovangkol fingerboard. The AR11C/ACE works for fingerstyle but favors a broader audience with its 650mm scale and warmer midrange suited to multiple genres.
Can I amplify either guitar?
The AR11C/ACE includes factory BR-2P pickup electronics for seamless amplification. The X6C/AC-AF has no pickup system mentioned, so amplification would require adding an external pickup.

The AR11C/ACE targets beginners and intermediates with comfortable ergonomics and forgiving playability. The X6C/AC-AF is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players with classical construction principles and refined technique demands.
How do the tone woods differ?
Both feature solid Canadian cedar tops and mahogany necks. The AR11C/ACE has standard mahogany back and sides for warm, balanced tone. The X6C/AC-AF uses stained exotic mahogany with an open-pore finish for enhanced resonance and tonal character that responds more to player dynamics.
