The Design Concept

Classic design - dreadnought shaped acoustic, solid Sitka Spruce top with genuine Mahogany solid back and sides, gotoh machine heads, gloss finish. Sensitive yet powerful, ideal as a rhythm instrument, or an accompaniment to the human voice.

These classics are handmade in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, from solid wood, using time-honoured construction such as dovetail neck joints and X-bracing. If you want to play an American classic with a long, distinguished pedigree, a guitar your musical heroes likely used to create your favourite songs, an instrument whose impact on music is far too big to be calculated, a Standard Series is for you.
