Body and Tonewoods: Sound and Comfort for the Player

Strong, clear sound and physical comfort are hallmarks of a quality dreadnought. The layered basswood top, back, and sides result in a mellow, midrange-rich character that’s forgiving for new hands and pleasing for strumming or fingerstyle alike.
