The Agile Renaissance 72730 is a 7-string multiscale acoustic-electric guitar designed for extended-range players seeking acoustic tone with improved clarity and string tension in lower tunings. Its 27"-30" fan-fret scale combines a 27" treble-side scale with an extended 30" bass-side scale, helping provide greater definition and tension on the lowest string while maintaining comfortable playability across the fretboard.
The Renaissance 72730 features a solid Sitka spruce top, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck, an American-made Richlite fingerboard, rosewood multiscale bridge and bone nut and saddle. An Artec Edge-ND acoustic pickup and preamp provides EQ, volume, presence, phase control and a built-in tuner for amplified performance. Lightweight Wilkinson open-gear tuners help maintain comfortable balance despite the guitar's extended range. Made in South Korea.
The Renaissance 72730 combines features rarely found together in an acoustic guitar: seven strings, a 27"-30" multiscale fretboard, acoustic-electric electronics and an extended 30" bass-side scale. The longer scale on the lowest strings helps provide additional tension and definition for extended-range playing and lower tunings, while the multiscale design avoids requiring the treble strings to use the same 30" scale. For 7-string electric players looking for an acoustic counterpart, the Renaissance 72730 provides an unusual way to bring extended-range capability and multiscale ergonomics to an acoustic instrument.
Pre-amp Directions and Specifications
Question: What are the benefits of a pre-amp and 3 band equalizer?
Answer: The pre-amp and 3 band equalizer give you access to certain frequencies that can help shape your sound on the move without going to your amp or pedal board. This is ideal for when you are playing live. They open a big range of tones and allow precise control while you boost your highs, mids, and lows.
Question: What is the advantage of playing a multi-scaled guitar?
Answer:
The multi-scale provides the advantage of having a longer scale length for the lower strings and a shorter scale length for the higher strings. When bass strings have a longer scale, you can achieve a snappier, brighter, and clearer tone. When the treble strings have a shorter scale they produce an inherently warmer, mellower tone.
This makes for a tonally balanced instrument. Straight scale instruments tend to suffer from drawbacks: extended scale instruments' high notes can sound shrill and piercing and short scale instruments' low notes can sound muddy. The multi-scale system allows for a "bost of both worlds" approach.
