This Dreadnought Guitar Offers a Full Spectrum of Sound
This guitar was built for my friend Tom. It incorporated some of the oldest European Maple that I had in my possession. I had Tom in mind during the entire build process, ensuring that he would love this instrument for years to come. This guitar is now 35 years old and has held up incredibly well over time. Tom comments how this guitar just sounds better as the years go on!
