Pre-War Dreadnought Shadetop - Distress Level 1

This Pre-War Model D was ordered with a shaded top (AKA Sunburst), and a level 1 distressed finish for that under-the-bed-special kind of look. The finish shows light craze lines and a low-gloss sheen, just a few tiny dings and scratches, and just about no playwear. It's a stunning guitar, and sounds every bit as good as every other Pre-War we've thus far had through the store. We're sold on these things, and are continually awe-struck by their vintage out-of-the-box tone.

Great 30's style rounded neck cave with vintage string spacing and 1-3/4” nut. Ebony fingerboard and bridge, tortoise-style pickguard, and blank headstock fitted with Waverly tuning machines. Torrefied red spruce top, mahogany back and sides.

With deluxe Harptone hardshell case
