The best thing about the Vintage Dreadnought is that you don't have to imagine what it might sound like if you custom ordered it with an Adirondack spruce top. Ours is the only standard herringbone - style dreadnought that can make this claim. Adirondack spruce, also known as Eastern Red Spruce, was the legendary topwood used on most pre-war American-made guitars. Properly sawn, Adirondack is much stiffer than Sitka and Engelmann spruce, both along and across the grain. This allows thinner, lighter tops, resulting in lightning-quick response and power to spare. Most guitar grade "Adirondack" spruce these days comes --the state of Maine, which still has large stands of original and second growth softwood forests. To maintain a vintage look, only the highest grade of East Indian rosewood is selected, perfectly matched and quartered with tight, straight grain and darker-than-average color. (Though Brazilian rosewood isn't a standard feature, it is the most popular custom upgrade). Rounding out the visual package, the Vintage Dreadnought features herringbone top trim, ivoroid body binding, slotted squares and diamonds inlay, premium tortoiseshell pickguard and nickel Waverly tuners Top: Adirondack Back: East Indian Rosewood Sides: East Indian Rosewood Rosette: Black/White Body Binding: Ivoroid Purfling: Vintage Herringbone Back Stripe: Zipper Head Shape: Mahogany Square Head with Diamond Head Veneer: Ziricote Fretboard: Ebony Nut Width: 1 23/32 Tuners: Nickel Waverly Bridge spacing: 2.2" s/n 7579 Why buy from Willcutt Guitars Willcutt Guitars has been in business since 1968 in Lexington, Kentucky.
