Pasadena PGC-100E Black Elektroakustiline kitarr

Pasadena PGC-100E Black Electro-Acoustic Guitar — Compact Stage-Ready Tone

This electro-acoustic guitar delivers stage-ready amplified tone in a body easier to hold than a full dreadnought. Built around a Grand Concert shape with a Venetian cutaway, it suits practice, recording, and small-stage performances. A spruce top paired with sapele back and sides produces a balanced acoustic voice, while the undersaddle pickup routes signal to a 3-band EQ preamp with integrated tuner. Plug into any acoustic amplifier or PA and the instrument is ready to perform.

What Sets the PGC-100E Black Apart

More than a basic starter electro-acoustic, this model includes a true undersaddle pickup feeding a 3-band EQ preamp with Presence, Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble controls — real tone-shaping power on stage. The integrated chromatic tuner sits in the same housing, so no separate clip-on tuner is needed during a quick soundcheck. A 9V battery powers the entire system.

Body Shape and Tonewoods for Balanced Acoustic Voice

The Grand Concert body is smaller than a dreadnought, making the instrument easier to hold during long sessions while delivering focused note definition. The spruce top provides clear highs and strong projection, while sapele back and sides add warmth and a solid midrange. The open pore finish lets the top resonate freely without a heavy lacquer dampening the sound.

• Top: Spruce — clear, dynamic response with strong projection
• Back and Sides: Sapele — warm, balanced tone with clean overtones
• Compact Grand Concert body with Venetian cutaway, which helps the user hold the instrument comfortably while maintaining full access to the higher frets.

Neck and Fingerboard Built for Comfort

A rounded nato neck sits comfortably in the left hand, reducing fatigue during extended playing. The black Richlite fingerboard feels smooth under the fingers and resists humidity changes, while the 43 mm nut width leaves room for fingerstyle work without feeling cramped. Twenty frets and an adjustable truss rod let players dial in the action to match their style.

• Neck: Nato, rounded profile — stable, comfortable feel in the hand
• Fingerboard: Black Richlite — smooth, durable surface for daily playing
• Standard feel for both fingerstyle and strumming is provided by the 43 mm nut width combined with a 650 mm scale length.

Electronics and Hardware for Stage and Studio

The undersaddle pickup sends string vibrations to the 3-band EQ preamp, where players dial in bass, middle, treble, and presence to suit the room. The integrated tuner simplifies setup between songs, and the entire system runs on a single 9V battery. Chrome die-cast tuners and a rosewood bridge keep tuning stable through long sets, while phosphor bronze strings deliver the warm voice expected from a spruce-topped acoustic.

• Preamp: 3-band EQ with built-in tuner — full tone shaping on stage
• Controls: Presence, Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble — detailed sound shaping
• Stable tuning and warm acoustic voice are delivered by the chrome die-cast tuners and phosphor bronze .011–.052 strings.

Who Should Play the PGC-100E Black

The Pasadena PGC-100E Black is the right choice for beginners and intermediate players who want one instrument covering practice, recording, and small-stage performances. The compact Grand Concert body suits younger musicians or adults who find a dreadnought too large, while the cutaway opens up the upper frets for lead lines and melodies. Songwriters and singer-songwriters will appreciate the undersaddle pickup and EQ for quick connection to a PA or acoustic amplifier.
