2024 Preston Thompson D B/A Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack

We at the shop are so pleased that this pre-owned Preston Thompson D B/A has come our way!  Featuring Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and an Adirondack top, it is one fine sounding dreadnought.  Clarity, volume, and overall 'musicality' abounds.  Condition is excellent with only surface scratches on the top and body.  Minimal fret wear.  Includes original hardshell case.

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.

These are traditional instruments and all models are based on the famous 1937 Herringbone Dreadnought, owned by the late, great Charles Sawtelle of the award-winning bluegrass band, Hot Rize. All 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.
