The Pre-War Dreadnought has the sound and look of a well-loved vintage instrument, but with the price, adjustability, and reliability of a modern guitar. The classic pairing of Adirondack spruce and Honduran mahogany offers tone that is dry and clear, with some sweetness around the edge. The guitar body features an ultra-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish and has been subjected to Pre-War's "Level One" distress level, simulating a vintage instrument that's spent most of its life tucked under a bed or stashed in a closet. Ideal for the stage or studio, this is one of the best pre-war replications that we've seen or heard.
