Condition: Used, Excellent

Absolutely jaw-dropping!  Based on some rare early 40s, all-Mahogany J-45s, the dark, woody tones of this short scale dread manages to both summon the spirit of the past as well as the promise and discovery of the present-future.  The midrange alone on this guitar is worth writing a song for.  Pair that with nice articulation in the bass (not always so on the all-hog bodies out there) and beautifully singing trebles and you've got an old-time symphony in a box.  Throaty and mean or bird-sweet and sunny--it all comes down to what kind of a mood your right hand is in!  

Our slope shouldered dreadnought is only about 1/4" wider than a standard dreadnought, but what a difference! Voiced for a more open, though less driving, sound than the Dreadnought, the Slope D happily accommodates a wide variety of playing styles including country, blues, old timey, pop, contemporary, and--you name it. And if you're a fingerstyle player looking for a dreadnought-sized guitar that can handle fingerpicks or bare fingers as well as flatpicks, the Slope D is definitely your guitar! The Slope D is also available as a Slope D, 14 Fret, 25” short scale: Relaxed playability; warmer than the long scale version, without significant loss of volume.
