acoustic dreadnought


This dreadnought is a combo of ideas. Similar to a Gibson j-45 in shape, but very different in sound. This has a highly arched soundboard (around 15') radius and a heavier bracing system, based on a Larson Bros idea. The result is a very balanced tone. Not nearly as bassy as a regular dread but all the volume. Punchy sound with defined notes highlight this guitar.


The specs:


-Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top

-Indian Rosewood back and sides

-Bound Ebony fingerboard and Ebony bridge
-Herringbone purfling and rosette

-Ivoroid binding

-Mahogany neck

-Tinted neck to match the Rosewood
