The Gold Tone AC-4 IT is the Irish tenor member of Gold Tone’s Acoustic Composite line. It comes set up for GDAE tuning, the standard for Irish trad and session playing, on a comfortable 22 and 3/4 inch scale with your choice of a 19-fret or 17-fret neck. The snappy, plunky voice cuts cleanly in a session without overpowering the room.
The heart of the AC line is its composite rim, which is durable, weather-friendly, and remarkably light. At 3.5 pounds the AC-4 IT is genuinely travel-ready, and the slim Nato neck with a rosewood fingerboard and a ZeroGlide nut makes fretting easy and tuning stable. A single 11-inch coordinator rod, chrome hardware, and an 11-inch Remo head round out an honest, road-worthy instrument that holds up to real use.
Every AC-4 IT is professionally set up at Gold Tone’s factory in Titusville, Florida before it ships, so it plays in tune and in time straight out of the included gig bag.
