Built with a new old-stock Sitka spruce top from Guild’s Westerly, RI factory that’s been aging naturally since the last millennium, the guitar has an unequivocally ‘aged’ voice already. It features a gorgeous Indian rosewood back and side set, a small rectangle bridge, and scalloped tonebars with a tapered X brace. With a medium length scale and light build, the DF offers huge volume and headroom, plenty of warmth and openness, a little bit of thump, and well-balanced trebles. The aged Sitka top gives the guitar a whole lot of dry, vintage snap, and helps bring out a beautiful overtone pallet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDressed up with a deco firestripe pickguard, ivoroid bindings and sunburst top finish, three-on-a-plate Golden Age open geared tuners, and simplified Iris headstock logo, the DF model is simultaneously both familiar and strikingly different. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRound neck with a distinctly 1950s Gibson C carve, .885” first fret depth, 1-11\/16” nut width, 16” fingerboard radius, and a 1-11\/16” nut width. Bone nut and saddle, 25” scale, 2-1\/4” string spread at the bridge.
