What are the advantages of a solid-body guitar?
Solid-body guitars are the preferred choice for professional musicians in particular. The top, back and sides are each made from a single piece of wood and are not glued together (laminated). This leads to a freer vibration behavior of the entire resonance body, which produces a better resonance and a high sound volume with excellent Sustain. This is an enormous advantage, especially on stage, as the instrument is able to assert itself excellently even in a louder environment.

The FameKoaDeluxe & Santos Deluxe in the "Guitar Acoustic" test report
Excerpt: With the KoaDeluxe and the Santos Deluxe, Fame present two acoustic guitars with an exotic look. The Santos rosewood body of the Santos Deluxe in particular gives the guitar an extravagant look with a wow effect. However, as the appearance of both Koa and Santos rosewood is very individual, it is not possible to draw conclusions about a guitar as a whole from its appearance. Both guitar models come with deluxe features such as high quality solid woods, armrest, elaborate fingerboard inlay, beautiful tuners and Fishman pickup system. This is far more than you would expect for a price under 1,000 euros. As different as they look, the two sisters sound just as different. While the Koa has a warmer, fuller sound, the Santos sounds slimmer and brighter. When amplified, both are ideal for use both in a band context and as a solo instrument. The KoaDeluxe comes in a sturdy, beautiful case, as well as with a soundhole humidifier, which is good for the guitar's woods. A case can also be ordered as an option with the Santos Deluxe.
