The Villager Aged Natural model offers the mid-sized body of the Newporter/Auditorium models. The front of the guitar is made of solid spruce, while the back and sides are made of laminated sapele. The resonance of the instrument is elevated to a higher level by the Forward Shifted Scalloped X ribbing. The neck made of nato wood with a narrower "Slim C" profile is glued to a walnut fingerboard fitted with twenty frets, orientation on its surface is facilitated by position dots.
The strings are mounted in Graphtech NuBone material over the zero and saddle frets in Modern Viking's proprietary mechanics and headstock. The instrument's fine craftsmanship is accentuated by the Fender "hockey stick" headstock, Aged White body binding, imitation tortoiseshell pickguard and nickel hardware.
True amplification of the natural acoustic sound is guaranteed by the Fishman Flex preamp with Volume and Tone controls in the back of the guitar. The instrument comes in a gig bag.
