An exemplar of Thompson's build quality, playability, and sonic beauty, this dreadnought is much more than the sum of its specs. This 12-fret, slot-head, slope shoulder dread is taken to the next level with an Adirondack spruce top and AAAA shipwreck quarter sawn straight grain Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. This guitar was entirely hand build and signed by the late Preston Thompson shortly before he passed.
