The Story

D-28 Authentic 1931 Dreadnought Natural 2014

Utilizing materials and techniques as close to the original as possible, this used Authentic 1931 D-28 has all of the features that made the original dreadnought a classic! Built in 2014, the big-bodied sound is provided by the solid Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, providing a full-ranging tone that's perfect for single-note lines and big strummed chords. A VTS Certified solid Adirondack Spruce top gives this dreadnought huge projection, and the 12-fret construction gives even more warmth and definition. This Dreadnought is in overall excellent shape with little playwear around the body, and includes the original case.

Includes: Hardshell Case
