The Saga SA700CE stands out for its high-density construction details and premium electronics, typically found on more expensive models. Beyond its solid spruce top, it features a bone nut and saddle for superior sound transmission and a factory-adjusted low action to make it easier for beginners to play right out of the box.
Build and Material Quality
Solid Engelmann Spruce Top: Unlike standard Sitka spruce, Engelmann is often prized for its slightly lighter weight and broken-in sound, providing a more responsive tone even with lighter playing.
Back and Sides: Uses Sapele, a dense wood from Africa that offers a punchy, mahogany-like sound with a bit more zing in the upper frequencies.
Fingerboard and Bridge: Most models now use Black Richlite, an eco-friendly composite that is more stable and durable than wood, resisting warping in different climates.
Hardware: Equipped with high-quality chrome die-cast tuners with brass gears for better corrosion resistance and tuning stability.
Electronics Comparison
Depending on the specific regional version, the SA700CE typically features one of these two pickup systems:
Fishman Presys II (PY301): Found on standard exports, this system includes Volume, Phase, Bass, Treble, and a built-in LED tuner.
Comparing to Competitors
If you are deciding between the Saga and other popular entry-level solid-top guitars, here is how they stack up:
Why Choose the Saga SA700CE?
