1934 D

In 1934, the powerful 14 fret herringbone dreadnought was unleashed. This has become one of the most revered and sought after designs in the steel string acoustic guitar. No one has reproduced the essence of this iconic instrument. Until now.

The secret to the desirable tone of vintage instruments lies in aged wood (crystallized resins) and the relaxation of tensions built in during manufacture.

This is exactly what we account for in our 1934 D. Brazilian Rosewood cut in the 1930's, Adirondack Spruce from the era, and real Hot Hide Glue that sets glass-like and resonant.

This isn't "like the old stuff." It IS the old stuff. By applying our singular tuning and voicing talents and taking our time to ensure a relaxed assembly, we have accessed the secrets to the Old Bone sound. The original nitro cellulose lacquer is the only choice to compliment this heirloom quality guitar.

The 1934 D's materials are very challenging to acquire, hence creating limited availability.
