Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier's Notes: Fret Dress, Setup, Buff Guitar
From Huss and Dalton Guitars
This DS is pictured with our 12-fret option. With 12 frets to the body and 24.9 scale length, these guitars have the power of our standard DS but with a rounder tonal quality. To many players, 12-fret guitars are imbued with near-mystical qualities. When the neck is moved two frets toward the body, the sound hole and bridge must follow its trajectory and the bracing must be rearranged to suit. There’s no reason to think it will project like a 14-fretter, and it doesn’t. It’s bigger! And not a guitar for the timid!
