The St. Augustine line represents Dean's commitment to blending timeless class with top-notch construction, creating graceful instruments that embody both aesthetic sophistication and uncompromising sonic excellence. This Grand Auditorium model achieves the ideal balance between acoustic depth and tonal presence, offering versatile performance capabilities suitable for diverse musical styles and playing approaches. The all-solid construction foundation begins with a premium solid spruce top that provides clarity, responsiveness, and dynamic range essential to professional-grade acoustic performance. The solid mahogany back and sides contribute warm harmonic richness and balanced tonal complexity that complements the spruce top's inherent brightness. The innovative new tonal bracing pattern optimizes internal acoustic resonance, ensuring that every note possesses clarity and articulation while maintaining cohesive harmonic balance. The ebony fingerboard, bridge, and distinctive ebony rosette represent Dean's commitment to extraordinary craftsmanship, adding an additional layer of visual sophistication and tonal refinement. Ebony is renowned for contributing enhanced tonal clarity and distinctive harmonic character that elevates the overall acoustic performance beyond conventional wood selections. The deep black aesthetic of ebony components creates striking visual contrast against the lighter spruce top, establishing an instrument of unmistakable elegance and professional character. The integrated Fishman Presys+ preamp system transforms this acoustic beauty into a versatile acoustic-electric performer, enabling seamless amplification for live performance and studio recording applications. The sophisticated electronics provide intuitive tone shaping and reliable amplification without compromising the instrument's natural acoustic character. This is an instrument for musicians who appreciate refined aesthetics, demand exceptional tonal performance, and seek modern amplification capabilities to support their artistic vision in contemporary performance settings.
