The story of Huss & Dalton is one of uncompromising craftsmanship, rooted deeply in the rich tradition of American guitar building. Since the company’s founding by Mark Dalton and Jeff Huss in the mid-1990s, Huss & Dalton has earned a reputation for creating instruments that combine vintage-inspired tone with modern precision and consistency. Today, that legacy continues under the leadership of Brian Dickel and a dedicated team of highly skilled craftspeople who remain committed to the principles that have made Huss & Dalton one of the most respected names in boutique acoustic guitars. Every instrument that leaves the Staunton, Virginia workshop reflects a passion for excellence, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what discerning players seek in a world-class acoustic guitar.
This exceptional 000-SP was built as a special instrument for Eddie's Guitars, showcasing a breathtaking set of Figured Claro Walnut that was specifically selected for its extraordinary visual character. Claro Walnut is prized for its ability to blend the warmth and richness of mahogany with some of the overtone complexity and clarity often associated with rosewood, but sets displaying figure of this caliber are exceptionally rare. The dramatic grain patterns ripple across the back and sides with stunning depth and movement, making this guitar as visually captivating as it is sonically rewarding.
The Western Red Cedar top provides an immediate responsiveness that fingerstyle players and expressive flatpickers will appreciate from the very first note. Cedar's naturally warm voice delivers remarkable sensitivity to a light touch while maintaining a rich harmonic character across the entire tonal spectrum. Beneath the top, Adirondack Spruce bracing and traditional hot hide glue construction contribute additional headroom, power, and efficiency, allowing the instrument to remain articulate and dynamic even when pushed harder. Huss & Dalton's Radius Top build style further enhances the guitar's structural integrity and tonal balance, creating a responsive soundboard that projects with exceptional clarity and sustain.
A Honduran Mahogany neck provides stability and comfort, paired with a premium Ebony fingerboard and bridge that offer a smooth playing experience and precise note definition. The short 24.9-inch scale length lends a relaxed feel under the fingers while preserving impressive clarity and separation. Combined with the comfortable 1 3/4-inch nut width and 2 5/16-inch bridge spacing, this 000-SP feels perfectly suited for intricate fingerstyle arrangements, alternate tunings, and nuanced acoustic performance.
The visual appointments are every bit as refined as the tonewoods themselves. Curly Maple body and fingerboard bindings create an elegant frame around the guitar, while the intricate Rope Rosette, Rope Top Purfling, and matching Rope Backstrip showcase the meticulous attention to detail for which Huss & Dalton is known. Slotted Squares fingerboard inlays add a tasteful vintage touch, while the slotted headstock is adorned with a beautifully figured Claro Walnut veneer that perfectly complements the dramatic walnut body.
Nickel Waverly tuners with Ivoroid buttons provide smooth, precise tuning performance while completing the instrument's timeless aesthetic. At an astonishingly light 3 pounds, 10 ounces, this guitar feels alive in your hands, resonating freely and effortlessly with every note. Housed in its premium tweed hardshell case, this custom Huss & Dalton 000-SP represents the marriage of rare materials, master craftsmanship, and thoughtful design—a truly special instrument built for players who appreciate both exceptional tone and extraordinary beauty.
