The Colton is Auden's dreadnought, built for volume. Tightly scalloped X bracing under a light AAAA cedar top gives it a big, open voice while keeping clear separation between every string, so strummed chords stay defined instead of turning to mush.

The Neo Series pairs that cedar top with African mahogany back and sides for a warm, woody tone, and the full body (no cutaway) keeps every bit of air for maximum depth and projection. The mahogany neck is set with a traditional dovetail and hide glue joint, with a bone nut, ebony bridge and a satin finish that feels fast under the hand. Plug in and the Supernatural Power PreAmp gives a natural amplified sound. It comes with a gig bag.
