With 12 frets to the body and 24.9 scale length, this slope shoulder 12-fret dreadnought with slotted headstock has the full DS power and more with a clear and punchy rounded tonal quality. Fully customized throughout, it’s built with a master grade set of flamed Koa with no stain for the back and sides with rich golden colorization and striking figuring all around and paired perfectly with a Thermo-Cured torrefied Adirondack Red Spruce top with custom lighter ambertone sunburst. Features include full Bloodwood bindings creating an eye catching contrast to the Koa and top burst, figured Koa headstock overlay, Abalone Pearl rosette and 42-style snowflakes fretboard inlay, Mahogany neck with volute and custom slotted headstock, Ebony fretboard, bridge, pins and more. Hot hide glue construction with Adirondack Spruce bracing drive this powerhouse under the hood.
Volume, warmth, clarity and robust tone, this guitar comes alive in your hands be it gentle fingerstyle playing to full strumming and flatpicking. This is truly a one of a kind DS-12 build.
To many players, The DS-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!
