MT vs MT2
While both models share the same body shapes and dimensions, the MT comes standard with an Engelmann spruce top, fully-satin lacquer finish, and simpler appointments. The MT2 features an Adirondack spruce top, all-gloss lacquer finish, and upgraded appointments, such as ivoroid binding on the back and fingerboard and our Flourish peghead inlay.
MT2 vs MT2 O
While both models share the same body shapes, dimensions, and standard appointments, the MT2 features f-holes on the top, while the MT2 O incorporates an oval hole design and voicing. The MT2 O accentuates the bass and low mids, adding warmth and openness, while the MT2 offers more cut and chop.
