Bridgeport BG 500-SSA-C #15002

Description

BG 500-SSA-C

Perfectly suited for fingerstyle players looking for a strong, bold sound. The Sitka spruce top offers a light yet robust surface, ideal for percussive tapping and rhythmic compositions. The back and sides are made from Santos rosewood — a bass-heavy, dense wood that helps drive the tone and power of the cedar top and boasts a deep, rich wood grain texture.

Special Features

Built with distinct and artfully-designed features that are tailored to the fingerstyle player: walnut bindings with fully pronounced arm bevels, ebony fingerboards, wider neck and string spacing, and flatter heels for optimal reach in the high register.

On each Bridgeport Guitar, you will also find tasteful embellishments done in a soft and subtle maple: our Bridgeport logo at the top of the headstock, our minimal bridge motif on the 12th fret, and a hand-inlaid spalted rosette — each one being a unique work of art.

All 500 series guitars are made with all-solid wood construction.
