The Essential D is something A-kin to a Pre-War D-18, complete with scalloped X bracing, tortoise bindings, ebony fretboard and bridge, but built with a baked Sitka spruce top rather than red spruce. The bracing on this example is red spruce, which helps impart some of that tonewood’s dryness and snap. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Essential D is a powerful and muscular mahogany dreadnought with plenty of headroom, strong bass response, and a treble response that will make any flatpicker smile. It’s lightly built, and offers the dry, open, quick tone of an aged and well opened guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example was ordered with a lightly aged nitro finish and a shaded top. The finish is attractive, and offers a vintage look without any fake mechanical aging applied. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFairly deep and round neck carve with a 1-3\/4” nut and 1st fret depth of .885”. 25.4” scale length, 2-3\/16” string spread at the saddle.
