Sound Pure's Take
This warm, powerful 12-fred dread has been played to perfection! It's got a thundering voice that hits you in the chest immediately. It doesn't overpower, though, it commands. It's got some battle scars, but it got a clean bill of health from our medic. A 12-fret mahogany dread is just about the biggest, baddest instrument one can sling, and this is an excellent representation of everything they can be. This guitar's rearing to go and eager to find a new home. Whether you fingerpick or flat-pick, this wild dreadnought will certainly shake the barn.
Condition: Used, Good - Considerable play wear
