This guitar is new, old stock, sold with full warranty, and we're discounting it because over its time here it has had a strap pin installed on the heel, in the usual position. The original price was $4550 Canadian.
Featuring a DS, or Dreadnought Slope body design with Adirondack top and Mahogany back and sides, this slope-shouldered guitar has a mahogany 12-fret neck with slotted peghead and ebony fingerboard. The 12-fret neck shifts the ebony bridge closer to the widest vibrating area of the top, providing more response and volume. This design works very well for fingerstyle and old-time flatpicking.
This was the original configuration of the dreadnought. The C. F. Martin conpany built a number of guitars for the Ditson company including the first dreadnought, Ditson 111, between 1916 and 1930.
The original hardshell Bourgeois case is included.
