Sound & Tone
The solid spruce top over black walnut back and sides gives this dreadnought a bright, projecting voice with firm low end and a clear top end that cuts through in a room, and the solid top should open up and gain warmth with playing time. The dreadnought body and split-saddle bridge with synthetic bone nut and saddle favor strong strumming and flatpicking, with steady intonation up the neck and good sustain behind single notes. It suits folk, country, bluegrass rhythm and singer-songwriter accompaniment, while the 12"-radius bound laurel fingerboard keeps fingerpicked passages comfortable.
