As the bigger, bolder cousin to our classic C10 model, the C100 combines parlor-style proportions with the power and volume of a large-bodied instrument. With a nearly 16″ lower bout and 4 Ā¾” body depth, the C100 offers no shortage of solid low-end response, yet the narrow waist provides a balance and clarity typically found only in smaller-bodied instruments.

Whether you’re a flatpicker, fingerstyle player, or something in between, the C100 offers impressive versatility and just might be the ideal companion for singer-songwriters looking to fill the room with sound while still leaving space for vocals to shine through.

C100 vs C100 Deluxe

While both models share the same body dimensions, key differences are outlined below.

  • Our C100 features Honduran mahogany back and sides, rope top purfling, a walnut backstrip, and no binding on the fingerboard and peghead.
  • Our C100 Deluxe featuresĀ  East Indian rosewood back and sides, b/w/b/w/b top purfling, a maple/rosewood backstrip, and ivoroid binding on the fingerboard and peghead.
