The Ayers A-06CX is a premium Auditorium cutaway acoustic built around a highly responsive 3A Engelmann spruce top and figured maple back and sides, offering a clear, articulate and beautifully balanced acoustic voice.

Ayers guitars are handcrafted in Vietnam, and the A-06CX sits firmly at the more refined end of the range, with an African mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, scalloped X-bracing and quality Gotoh hardware.

The Auditorium body provides an excellent balance between projection and playing comfort, while the cutaway improves access to the upper register for more melodic and technical playing.

This Pre-Owned example is in Very Good condition, weighs an actual 4.4 lbs, and includes a gigbag.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

The A-06CX combines premium acoustic materials with a comfortable, versatile body shape.

The Engelmann spruce top offers excellent sensitivity to a lighter touch, while the maple body keeps the response clear, focused and articulate.

That combination makes the guitar particularly effective for fingerstyle, melodic acoustic playing and recording, where note separation matters just as much as overall projection.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Auditorium Body

The Auditorium body sits between smaller folk-style instruments and larger dreadnoughts.

It provides enough volume and projection for confident rhythm playing while remaining comfortable and balanced when seated.

Cutaway Design

The cutaway gives easier access to the upper frets.

This is particularly useful for fingerstyle arrangements, melodic playing and lead parts that extend further up the neck.

3A Engelmann Spruce Top

The 3A Engelmann spruce top is one of the strongest elements of the A-06CX specification.

Engelmann spruce is valued for its responsiveness and detailed character, reacting well to subtle changes in picking dynamics.

Maple Back & Sides

The maple back and sides provide a clear, focused tonal response.

Compared with more overtone-heavy woods, maple tends to emphasise note separation and immediacy, making it especially useful for intricate playing.

African Mahogany Neck

The one-piece African mahogany neck provides a stable and familiar acoustic playing platform.

Ebony Fingerboard

The ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, premium playing surface with a clean and understated appearance.

Ebony Bridge

An ebony bridge complements the fingerboard and provides a hard, stable point for string energy to transfer into the top.

Scalloped X-Bracing

The top uses scalloped X-bracing, designed to provide structural support while allowing the soundboard to respond freely.

645mm Scale Length

The 645mm scale length provides familiar steel-string tension and clear articulation.

Bone Nut & Saddle

A bone nut and saddle provide hard, resonant string contact points and help preserve clarity and sustain.

Abalone Rosette

The decorative abalone rosette adds a refined visual detail without overwhelming the otherwise natural appearance of the instrument.

Gotoh Gold Tuners

Quality Gotoh gold tuning machines provide smooth and accurate tuning adjustment while complementing the premium specification.

Gloss Finish

The gloss body finish highlights the natural grain of the Engelmann spruce and figured maple.

4.4 lbs Actual Weight

This individual guitar weighs just 4.4 lbs, making it particularly comfortable for extended playing sessions.

The Ayers A-06CX is particularly well suited to:

• Fingerstyle players

• Singer-songwriters

• Acoustic soloists

• Folk musicians

• Players who value note separation

• Players wanting a premium Auditorium acoustic

• Guitarists looking beyond mainstream acoustic brands

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

• Acoustic pop

HOW IT COMPARES

Auditorium vs Dreadnought

A dreadnought generally provides more low-end weight and maximum projection.

The A-06CX's Auditorium body offers a more balanced response and more comfortable physical dimensions.

Maple vs Rosewood

Rosewood typically produces deeper lows and more complex overtones.

Maple offers a more focused and immediate response with excellent individual-note definition.

Engelmann vs Sitka Spruce

Sitka spruce is known for strong headroom and versatility.

Engelmann tends to respond particularly well to a lighter touch, making it especially attractive to fingerstyle and dynamic players.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Fingerstyle and acoustic players looking for a responsive, premium-quality instrument with clear note separation and comfortable Auditorium dimensions.

Customers usually upgrade from: Mid-range solid-top acoustics, entry-level all-solid guitars and more basic Auditorium models.

Most commonly paired with: High-quality acoustic microphones, capo, light effects for recording and fingerstyle-oriented string sets.

Our tip: This combination of Engelmann spruce and maple rewards a controlled touch. Rather than forcing maximum volume from it, use dynamics and let the natural clarity of the instrument do the work.

Showroom feedback: At only 4.4 lbs, the A-06CX feels particularly comfortable, while the ebony appointments, quality Gotoh hardware and premium spruce/maple construction give it a distinctly upmarket feel.
