Mitchell T231CE

Every once in a while, one of these inexpensive guitars comes through the shop and makes you wonder why they cost so little in the first place.

The Mitchell T231CE is in very clean condition, plays beautifully, and now sports an upgraded pickup and preamp that sound surprisingly good. This guitar has the kind of comfortable, straightforward feel that makes you want to pick it up and play it. It's an all-mahogany dreadnought with a cutaway, a slim mahogany neck, and plenty of acoustic volume.

The upgraded electronics, give this already useful acoustic-electric a much more capable onboard preamp and pickup system than the original equipment. Plug it in, dial in your sound, and you're ready to go.

A few particulars:

• All-mahogany dreadnought body
• Single cutaway
• Slim mahogany neck
• Rosewood fingerboard and bridge
• 25.5" scale

• Graph Tech NuBone nut
• Upgraded onboard pickup and preamp

A very nice acoustic-electric for somebody who wants a good-playing, good-sounding guitar without spending a fortune. A good, affordable guitar that's ready to go play some music.
