Hello!
For sale is this lovely Thompson dread with Adirondack spruce top and sinker mahogany back an sides.
I purchased this guitar a few weeks ago, and very soon after had to unexpectedly reprioritize saving for some projects later in the year. The guitar is everything I hoped it would be; big, balanced low end, lots of headroom, exceptionally pure and detailed sounding, and the roundest, most resonant trebles I've had in a guitar. I also love this neck. It's vintage-style, so it starts with a subtle 'v' and gets rounder the further up the neck you go. It's also a touch shallower than other vintage-style necks I've owned, so it feels a little faster and easier for my medium sized hands. Ultimately, just a very fine dread. My pics don't do it justice; the woods and finish are simply beautiful.
To be verified, but I was told by a recent Thompson customer that his custom build was one of the last sinker guitars and that Thompson's supply was, for now at least, exhausted.
Specs:
- 1 3/4" nut 2 5/16" spacing at the saddle
- 3/32" action height on bass side, 5/64" on the treble side, perfect neck angle
- Includes a very nice Harptone case that's a cut above any higher end TKL I've had.
- Includes a very nice truss tool.
This guitar will ship worry free - It's currently insured under my personal instrument policy and will remain so until it reaches the hands of its new owner.
Thanks for looking! I'll be adding a video an maybe more/better pics to the listing as time allows. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
