Doolin Dreadnought Model

Click for a Closer Look

The Dreadnought is the world's most popular acoustic guitar design, the instrument of choice for many country, folk and bluegrass players. I've updated this venerable design with my double-cutaway. Traditional hand-voiced X-bracing gives it the driving power Dreadnought players love. A great guitar for rhythm and flatpicking styles, as well as fingerstyle. The option of an Adirondack spruce top makes this the ultimate bluegrass lead instrument. Read a review of this instrument.

The neck joins at the 19th fret, allowing comfortable left-hand positions in all registers - the thumb can stay behind the neck all the way to the 22nd fret. My Steel-String guitars also feature my Pinless Bridge Design.
