Number 77

This is a traditional Dreadnaught guitar made of mahogany with a Carpathian spruce top. It has the big "fat" sound typical of mahogany guitars.

Design includes a traditional X-braced top, a modern truss rod and a fully adjustable bolt-on neck. The neck has an "extension" (embedded into a recess in the fingerboard for a more traditional appearance), allowing the entire top to vibrate and allowing easy removal and adjustment of the neck.

Decoration includes herringbone purfling and rosette, zigzag back strip, and open-gear tuners completing the very traditional look. The finish is water based lacquer, wet-sanded to a satin finish except for the top which is buffed to a gloss.

This is a great Bluegrass instrument, putting out that big Dreadnaught sound, but capable of delicacy and restraint also.

Price: $2300
