Given the opportunity to hear a truly sophisticated guitar, players experienced a paradigm shift in what they thought possible. This time-tested design ensures large bass response and overall volume. The Pre War design package is presented with understated and elegant appointments to emphasize master grade materials, tone and workmanship. It is perfect for the aficionado that loves the advantages of a professional boutique instrument featuring Indian Rosewood sides and back with Sitka Spruce top, unassuming solid square headstock and a V neck with volute. Under the hood, the Pre War design package honors its pre-WWII predecessors with an advanced X and scalloped top bracing. The D/PW’s powerful volume, overtones and rich presence is an epiphany to the uninitiated. Expect the predominant bass and throaty presence of the surviving pre-war antiques. There are no unnecessary design features on this model, simply the finest materials treated to SCGC’s state of the art lutherie.
