2024 Preston Thompson D B/A Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack

Here is a previously owned 2024 Preston Thompson D B/A dreadnought featuring a gorgeous set of Brazilian Rosewood for back and sides and an Adirondack top.  Its condition is excellent with surface scratches only on the top and body. There is minimal fret wear.  A K & K Pure Mini pickup has been installed.  The Flamed Maple binding and Herringbone purfling adds a nice contrast to the rich Brazilian, which is highlighted with sapwood on the back and headstock.  Per Thompson:

"Preston Thompson Dreadnought models are all crafted to produce the tone and volume that the dreadnought guitar was originally designed to achieve. These are powerful instruments that, when needed, stand up to the volume of a mandolin, fiddle and banjo. They have the bass response that provides an almost full orchestral backing to vocals. Their mid-range response and bright trebles take flatpicking and lead playing to new levels of achievement."

Preston Thompson guitars are renowned in player's circles for their authentic tone and great playability. This guitar has plenty of power without being harsh.  It possesses all the clarity and volume that are hallmarks of Brazilian instruments.  Thompson dreadnoughts feature Red Spruce (Adirondack) tops chosen for tap tone and stiffness, advanced X brace placement, hand graduated top thickness, pre-war hand carved scalloped braces, nitro-cellulose lacquer finishes and time-tested design features such as dovetail neck joints.  Includes original hardshell case.  Other specifications include:
