For sale: Mahogany baritone dreadnought
#24032
Beautiful wood. Comfortable in your hands. Great tone with a deep voice that you only get from a baritone. Truly, a stunning guitar. Medullary rays, known as silking, shimmer across the Sitka spruce top. Paired with the uncommon figure and colouring of its African mahogany body, this guitar presents a striking bespoke look while delivering the classic tonal characteristics that mahogany and spruce are famous for. Bell-like clarity, strong fundamentals, a tight controlled bottom end, balance across the strings, and plenty of sustain. Simply stated, this guitar just sounds great. A side sound port on the upper bout helps direct some of that sound towards the player. The Honduran mahogany neck, which joins the body at the 13th fret, sports a roasted curly birch fretboard with long wearing Cryowire frets. The bridge is a matched piece of roasted curly birch. Both the body and fretboard are bound with curly maple. Internally, the guitar body features a pair of carbon fibre rods which form a buttress against the neck block, strengthening and stiffening the upper end to better resist the constant pull of the beefy baritone strings. A quality arched top hardshell case is included.
