The A1M II TBS has a solid Sitka spruce soundboard, and a mahogany back and sides. Acoustic performance is elevated to a higher level by the new design of the reduced X-rib front plate and shortened back plate ribs, which give the guitar a stronger, louder response in the lower midrange. Glued to the mahogany neck is a rosewood fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. Maximum playing comfort is guaranteed by the rounded edges of the fingerboard and the lower body cutaway.
The amplification of the acoustic sound is taken care of by the company's preamp with three-band equalizer and integrated tuner built into the guitar's back and SRT piezo pickup. The strings are mounted across the Urea plastic saddle and fretboard in the company's chrome Die-Cast chassis and rosewood fingerboard. The guitar's handsome design is accentuated by decorative touches in the form of a mahogany body surround and an imitation tortoiseshell pickguard shaped after the 1975 N1000's pickguard.
