12th Root Guitars D14S-Slope Shouldered Dreadnaught

12th Root Guitars D14S-Slope Shouldered Dreadnaught

This Slope-Shouldered Dreadnought is made from beautiful Claro Walnut. The Sitka Spruce top shows a very sparse bear claw figure that I grow more and more attached to. Tonally, it is nice and crisp on the high end with plenty of volume and a bit of growl in the lower registers.  Hand made by 12th Root Guitars, Colorado
