Some guitars speak for themselves, some speak for even more. This phenomenal 42 style can hardly be matched for an instrument that represents both the complete mastery of its builder and the mythical quality of the early-mid 20th century guitars that inspired his lifelong quest. The look, the feel, and, of course, the sound--all find their starting points in those pre-war dreads we all revere and, through the interpretation of the master, all find completion and elevation in this final form. Truly immaculate ornamentation; a just-modern-enough neck profile for effortless meandering; a symphony-size dynamic range that offers balance and pure meaning in every position, from every angle of approach.
This is what the new Golden Era of guitars is all about--not having to choose between the past and the future.
Our most popular model, the square shoulder pre-War style Dreadnought delivers ample power to cut through any performance situation. Featuring Dana's unique, single-scalloped X brace system, our Dreadnought has become a bluegrass classic, offering a blend of balance and clarity absolutely required for flatpicking, highly desirable for most other styles of playing, but rarely found in a contemporary dreadnought.
