Pellerin Grand Auditorium Scoop CW (EIR-Cedar), with black top - SOLD Verified listing

Marcus Wong from "The Golden Era Guitar":

This is possibly my favourite Cedar topped guitar as it has an enormous Spruce-like headroom and brightness, while at the same time having all the warmth and lushness of Cedar. The unique “Black Top” finish is perfectly juxtaposed by the top Maple purfling, creating a stunning visual effect. This guitar is sure to capture the eyes, ears and hearts of everyone in the room.
