The RS7SM Rathbone No.7 Orchestra Model is an all-solid tonewood beauty that pairs a solid Sitka Spruce top with solid Mahogany back and sides for a much-loved traditional aesthetic and sound. The OM body shape produces a naturally responsive and voluminous tone which is further enhanced through the use of a classic combination of all-solid Spruce and Mahogany tonewoods. You can expect a sweet and warm voice delivered with superb poise and balance. So, if you’re a guitarist with an affection for a truly authentic acoustic sound paired with a timeless vibe, the RS7SM delivers both in equal measure.   Due to the environment in which it was initially designed to be used, the 'OM' was not a large-bodied guitar. In fact, few of the early 'modern' guitars would be considered large today. So, the 'OM-sized' Rathbone No.7 is not a large bodied guitar either, but the neck joins the body at the 14th fret, so the scale length is one that we would recognise from most modern guitars. When first used, this 'long' scale length was found to help deliver a remarkably, and some may say disproportionately, powerful and dynamic tone. The tuned strings are under greater tension than on shorter scale guitars, so they give a far greater tonal response and 'punch'.  Quick Spec Body Size Orchestra Model Type Acoustic Top Solid Sitka Spruce Back & Sides Solid Mahogany Orientation Right-handed Neck Mahogany Pickup N/A Gigbag Not Included

Traditional aesthetics meet 21st Century technology.  The R5SM Rathbone Dreadnought 'Double Top' features a technologically advanced sound-table made of two super-thin layers of Spruce with a Carbon Fibre lattice in-between. This ‘Double-Top’ construction enables the sound-table to be a little thinner than a single solid piece of spruce but remain strong and ultra-responsive. The result is a super-resonant and voluminous guitar with bags of both character and all-out power. Learn more about Rathbone Double-Top Guitar Technology HERE Combining this remarkable Double-Top technology with the Sapele Mahogany back and sides ensures that along with your Rathbone’s power comes a warm and colourful tone synonymous with historic dreadnought designs. The larger, traditional dreadnought-sized body naturally enhances the low to mid frequencies and is therefore incredibly versatile. This powerhouse can be used in any musical environment delivering an ideal balance of volume, clarity and player-comfort. So if you're looking for a that big -sounding acoustic, look no further!   Quick Spec Body Size Dreadnought Type Acoustic Top DOUBLE TOP - Spruce / Carbon Fibre / Spruce Back & Sides Sapele Mahogany Orientation Right-handed Neck Mahogany Pickup N/A Gigbag Not Included

Traditional aesthetics meet 21st Century technology.  The R3ECE Rathbone Grand-Auditorium 'Double Top' features a technologically advanced sound-table made of two super-thin layers of Ebony with a Carbon Fibre lattice in-between. This ‘Double-Top’ construction enables the sound-table to be a little thinner than a single solid piece of ebony but remain strong and ultra-responsive. The result is a super-resonant and voluminous guitar with bags of both character and all-out power.  Learn more about Rathbone Double-Top Guitar Technology HERE The all-Ebony tonewoods of the R3ECE deliver a naturally bright and crisp tone with excellent attack and high-end sparkle. The perfect all-rounder, the No.3 has the same scale length as the Orchestra Model but body dimensions closer to a classic dreadnought. The larger body cavity naturally produces greater bass tones, but without sacrificing clarity, and that's the beauty of the Grand-Auditorium. However, a larger body does not mean an unwieldy instrument. Far from it, in fact. The beautiful curves around the waist of the Rathbone No.3 ensure the guitar will sit comfortably on a knee or hang perfectly from your shoulders.
