Sound Pure's Take
Nice projection and beautiful mahogany on the back. The top's got plenty of bite and the specs are all correct (we're talking golden era here, folks). Nice feel to this neck and the action is low enough to satisfy the most discerning of gut-fiddlers.
From Eastman Guitars
The iconic shape of the Dreadnought is synonymous with acoustic guitars in general. Big and bold, these cannons are perfect for ensemble settings where the guitar competes for sonic space with other instruments or accompanying strong singers. The Dreadnought is the classic flat-picking bluegrass instrument.
