The Buxom acoustic guitar -- it's all about delivering clarity and balance as well as volume.
"Zaftig" doesn't begin to describe the Buxom 6 experience. If Anita Ekberg in her La Dolce Vita prime were a guitar, she would be Versoul's Buxom 6. This big, bold blonde sounds every bit as striking as she looks.
You expect bass end bark and boom from this guitar, and in this regard the Buxom 6 doesn't disappoint. But you may be surprised to experience its rich sound balanced evenly across the tonal spectrum. Mid range and treble tones hold their own, thanks to the special stiffened top bracing and the extra long scale length of 25 3/4" or the optional 26" scale. It's all about delivering clarity and balance as well as volume.
Inspired by classic acoustic 'jumbos’ but designed to contemporary standards of playability and sound, the Buxom 6 delights eye and ear alike. Versoul's distinctive headstock design, gold leaf inlays and rosette deliver visual elegance with just enough ostentation to turn heads.
