Here is a sweet body shape, a slope shoulder Dreadnought in 12-fret and slot head. Going for a bit of an old time look and some very nice quilted mahogany that is from The Tree.

This is a 0-parlour sized guitar with a deep body in American Black Walnut and Western Red Cedar. This is a great combination as Walnut can sometimes be a bit bright like a very lively Mahogany and the Cedar mellows that a bit.The walnut wood it is very high figure and the overall tone is to die for. A wonderful finger style or accompaniment instrument.
