The Vintage Artist model features a powerful bass response combined with the bright tone provided by the guitar’s mahogany body. This model’s prized deep, rolling bass response is achieved by both advancing the scalloped X-brace towards the soundhole and by our meticulous attention to top voicing. The separation and clarity of tone produced by the guitar are characteristic of the style of the legendary Doc Watson, who owned the prototype of the Vintage Artist. A guitar that is the tonal equal and technical superior of the most respected pre-World War II dreadnoughts.

Condition: Excellent no major signs of use. Comes complete with hard case.
