The five models; D52SW, D52SWCE, D56SW, D56SWCE and the F52SWCE have solid spruce tops with solid wood backs and sides, as well as one piece mahogany necks. The series has a retail price tag that is between $999.90 and $1,349,90.

The D52SW is completed with a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides and maple binding on the body. The one piece mahogany neck contains stylized, diamond mother-of-pearl inlays, a rosewood fret board and maple binding. The guitar is equipped with Grover 18:1 tuners and a very attractive Abalone rosette. The D52SW retails at $999 and is also available as an acoustic electric, consisting of B-band electronics and an added cutaway. This D52SWCE retails for $1299.90.
