The Redding RED50CE is a versatile acoustic-electric guitar combining traditional acoustic styling with practical electronics for amplified performance. Featuring a spruce top, basswood back and sides, Venetian cutaway and Redding 3-band EQ preamp, it provides players with the features needed for practice, rehearsal and live playing.
Spruce Top with Basswood Back and Sides
The RED50CE features a spruce top paired with basswood back and sides. The body is finished with attractive cream binding, giving the instrument a clean and distinctive appearance.
A triple-ring herringbone rosette surrounds the soundhole, while a classic black teardrop scratchplate helps protect the top during strumming.
Venetian Cutaway
The elegant Venetian cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets, making the RED50CE suitable for players who incorporate lead passages, melodic lines and higher-register chords into their playing.
Bound Catalpa Neck
A catalpa neck with cream binding complements the bound body and provides a comfortable playing platform. The Rockwood fingerboard features pearl dot inlays for a traditional acoustic guitar appearance and clear fret-position reference.
Rockwood Bridge
The RED50CE features a Rockwood bridge with a compensated saddle, providing a solid foundation for the strings while supporting accurate intonation across the instrument.
Redding 3-Band EQ Preamp
For amplified playing, the RED50CE is equipped with a Redding 3-band EQ preamp. Dedicated rotary controls for volume, low, middle and high frequencies allow you to shape the amplified sound to suit different playing environments.
A phase shift switch provides additional control when using the guitar through compatible amplification or PA equipment.
Built-In Chromatic Tuner
An integrated LCD chromatic tuner makes it easy to check and adjust tuning without requiring a separate tuner. A dedicated tuner switch provides convenient access when preparing for practice, rehearsal or performance.
Chrome Diecast Machine Heads
The guitar is completed with chrome diecast machine heads, complementing its traditional styling while providing straightforward and reliable tuning adjustment.
