Introducing the new K3-A AcoustiFex® Models — Spruce and Mahogany guitars that feature the new patented AcoustiFex® K-10 pickup system and a street price of $399.99. The AcoustiFex® pickup, preamp and FX system gives players the ability to mix in reverb, delay & chorus when playing acoustically or when plugged in, giving them full control over their sound. This new system expands the functionality of the instrument by providing audio streaming to the guitar (both when unplugged and plugged into an amplifier or mixer) for learning and play-along content. The new K3 AcoustiFex models are available in cutaway dreadnought, grand auditorium and ¾ size Mini body styles and have a street price of $399.99, an unbelievable value for such feature-packed instruments.
The K3 Series guitars are the first guitars to utilize the majority of the same manufacturing processes as the Elite Series guitars — the most affordable super-premium guitars in the world. This includes 90% automation in construction including over a dozen unique CNC, robot and laser processes for the K Series instruments. (See video to the right on how the Elite series is made…)
Premium components like 18:1 tuning gears (as used on the Elite Series) and proprietary anti-rust coated strings provide immediately noticeable playability and salability to the customer. Solid wood plys of real mahogany and spruce yield great looks, tone, and stability.
AcoustiFex® K-10 Pickup, Preamp, FX and Audio Streaming system…
The revolutionary & patented AcoustiFex® system is a marvel in itself, providing players with lush reverbs, delay and chorus while picking “unplugged” in any acoustic space. When hitting the stage and plugging in to an amp or mixing console, it offers a flexible piezo undersaddle pickup plus the onboard effects giving players full control over the mix. What makes the K-10 System totally unique is its ability to also receive streamed audio content via Bluetooth from a music library on a phone or other Bluetooth sources, a great feature for learning and for playing along with backing tracks. This feature is available when the instrument is not plugged in as well as when it’s plugged into an amplifier or mixer. The volume level of the streamed audio is controlled by the output volume on the source device.
