The A-430E NAT is an electro-acoustic guitar with a medium-sized Grand Auditorium body. The instrument's soundboard is made of solid Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are made of laminated rosewood with an attractive wood grain. A mahogany neck with a pleasing Thin U profile is glued to a jatoba fingerboard fitted with twenty jumbo-sized frets. The NuBone fret and saddle material is characterized by excellent resonance properties. Precise tuning is ensured by closed LTD mechanics.
The sound system is provided by a Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup and a Fishman Presys I preamp with phase switch for feedback reduction, volume control and tuner. The nice workmanship is accentuated by gold hardware and ornate mother-of-pearl markers on the fingerboard, body surround and rosette.
