This custom dreadnought is built to the 35-style pattern, with a premium-grade Adirondack Spruce VTS top over Guatemalan Rosewood back and sides for a big, deep voice with pronounced low end and strong projection. Forward-shifted Golden Era scalloped X bracing is hand-shaped so the torrefied red spruce responds instantly and keeps its composure when pushed hard. A bold herringbone large soundhole rosette and straight herringbone top inlay sit against antique white binding, heel cap and endpiece, with zig-zag back purfling, a faux tortoise pickguard and an Aging Toner top. The Select Hardwood neck is carved to a Modified V with a standard taper and dovetail joint, topped by a black ebony fingerboard with a 16-inch radius and 1 3/4-inch nut, bone nut, compensated bone saddle and Grover StaTite 18:1 tuners with vintage buttons.
