STRYDOM F140E
Bigger Body. Fuller Sound.
Designed for players who want greater projection and a richer acoustic voice, the Strydom F140E combines an all-mahogany construction with a comfortable 40-inch auditorium body and the versatile S4 EQ system. From practice sessions to live performances, the F140E delivers warm tone, impressive resonance and dependable performance.
40" Auditorium Body
The auditorium body shape offers an ideal balance between comfort and projection. Larger than a compact 39-inch guitar, it produces greater volume, enhanced resonance and a fuller tonal character while remaining comfortable for extended playing sessions.
Designed For Richer Acoustic Performance
The larger auditorium body allows more air movement inside the guitar, producing increased projection and a fuller sound. Combined with all-mahogany construction, the result is a warm and balanced tone that responds beautifully to both strumming and fingerstyle playing.
- Greater volume and projection
- Enhanced bass response
- Warm all-mahogany character

All Mahogany Construction
Mahogany is known for its warm, focused and balanced voice. The all-mahogany body of the F140E delivers rich mids, smooth highs and impressive note clarity, making it an excellent choice for singers, songwriters and developing musicians.
Perform Anywhere
The built-in Strydom S4 EQ system allows you to connect directly to amplifiers, PA systems, mixers and recording interfaces while maintaining complete control over your amplified tone.
Comfort Meets Capability
The cutaway auditorium body offers comfortable access to higher frets while the double-action truss rod and die-cast machine heads provide reliable tuning stability and long-term playability.
