Flamed Mahogany back and sides give this custom dreadnought a woody, midrange-forward character with fast note decay, well suited to flatpicking and vocal accompaniment, while the premium-grade Adirondack Spruce VTS top supplies headroom and attack. Unusually for this trim level the top carries rearward-shifted scalloped X bracing, hand-shaped in the Golden Era style, which tightens the bass and pushes the voice toward clarity and balance rather than boom. Bold herringbone rosette and top trim, zig-zag back purfling, antique white binding and endpiece, a faux tortoise pickguard and an Aging Toner finish keep the look traditional, with a figured mahogany headplate and Old Style Gold logo. A Modified V Select Hardwood neck with long diamond volute, dovetail joint, black ebony fingerboard at 16-inch radius, 1 3/4-inch nut, bone nut and compensated bone saddle complete it.
