The ST40 CW Natural provides easy fret access high up on the neck with its rounded Cutaway, as well as easy playing all over with its smooth Mahogany Neck and Richlite Fretboard. Warm Mahogany tones are the name of the game here through the guitar’s Solid Body construction, with some balanced clarity via its Solid Sitka Spruce Top—all of which are High-Gloss. Custom Norman inlays and Pickguard fit right in, while the strings pass over a carefully crafted Ebony Bridge. Not to mention, the ST40 CW contains the unique Godin Atelier Compound Tapered Bracing for optimized top rigidity, deflection, and structural stability. Finally, no cutaway Norman would be complete without the addition of LR Bagss Element Electronics and included Gig Bag. The ST40 CW Natural HG Element is the absolute gigging musician’s guitar on the “cutaway” edge.
