A favorite of many a famous songwriter or folksinger, but completely at home in the hands of a bluesman or bluegrasser as well, the Pre-War Slope Shoulder is feather weight and responds to the the fingerpicker’s touch as well as the flatpicker’s. It can whisper, and it can shout, you feel it moving the air around you. A particularly great guitar for the solo performer, but this one will be a perfect fit for any musical setting you can put it in. Hand built in Hillsborough, NC, Pre-War guitars utilizes hot hide glue for all of the bracing as well as in the perfectly fit traditional dovetail neck joints. The Pre-War Slope Shoulder features torrefied Adirondack Spruce top and hand carved torrefied brace wood for their dry-aged tone. You get a guitar with the soul, sound, and look of a well-loved vintage instrument, but with the price, adjust-ability, and reliability of a modern guitar.
