## Description

Imperial Guitars Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL This is a brand new model that Imperial has just released for 2014. It&apos;s the Rosewood and Spruce version of their Royal Hawaiian Limited Edition called the Rosewood XL. 
 
 The 
Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL starts with the same features as Imperial&apos;s Limited Edition: 
 &#x2022; Extra deep body and hollow neck for increased volume and resonance 
 &#x2022; &quot;Rope&quot; binding on the top, back and fingerboard 
 &#x2022; Rosewood bridge and fingerboard with maple markings 
 &#x2022; High quality die-cast tuners 
 &#x2022; Fishman Presys+ pickup system 
 
 But instead of using the traditional Mahogany or Koa, they&apos;ve built this model with a solid Spruce top and Rosewood back, sides and neck. Besides the visual differences, the tone of the Rosewood XL is a little different from traditional models. It sounds a little brighter to me, with a more open or &quot;lively&quot; tone. The tonal range is more like a good acoustic guitar than the typically dark tone of Hawaiian guitars. 
 
 The Rosewood XL uses the Fishman under saddle pickup with their Presys+ preamp system. This system features 4 bands of EQ as well as a notch filter for feedback busting and a phase switch, which is another tonal variable that is particularily useful for adding some extra fullness at low volumes. The + part of Presys+ is the built-in tuner, always handy in any case, but especially if you&apos;re going to be changing tunings in the middle of a set. 
 
 As with Imperial&apos;s other limited editions, there are no options. The 
Royal Hawaiian Rosewood XL 
 comes with everything they&apos;ve got, including the Fishman Presys+ pickup system and a custom fit extra deep hard shell case. Imperial has only made 8 of these for this year.

## Features

- Solid Spruce top with Rosewood back, sides and neck
- Extra Deep body for more volume and tone
- Cool vintage style "rope" binding
- Fishman Presys+ pickup and preamp system with built-in tuner
- Custom fit extra deep hardshell case included
