The Story

D-EIA East Indian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce Acoustic-Electric Norman Burst

This is a beautiful dreadnought made by the well-respected Preston Thompson Guitars company in Sisters, Oregon. This is a D-EIA dreadnought model, and the tonewoods used on this one are truly top-notch. The top is Adirondack spruce paired with East Indian rosewood for the back and sides. Cosmetically, the guitar is built to look like a classic Dreadnought with a herringbone top inlay and multi-stripe rosette along with a dark "Norman Burst" finish. It's in overall excellent condition with just light playwear and surface marks around the body - no dings or dents. The original case is included, and we love that it has a wonderful LR Baggs electronics system which was installed at the factory.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
