Sale Pending - Preston Thompson D-BA - Adirondack Spruce & Brazilian Rosewood

The Preston Thompson D-BA is a guitar steeped in timeless elegance and Southern charm, crafted to honor the golden age of acoustic instruments. With its master-grade Adirondack spruce top and master-grade Brazilian rosewood back and sides, this masterpiece delivers a voice as warm and resonant as a Southern sunset, with unparalleled clarity and depth that only the finest tonewoods can produce.

Every inch of this instrument is a tribute to meticulous craftsmanship and old-world artistry. The pre-war scalloped advanced X Adirondack bracing allows the top to breathe freely, producing a rich, dynamic response whether you're strumming gentle ballads or commanding bluegrass breakdowns. The body, neck, and headstock are bound in creamy ivoroid, accentuated by herringbone purfling and a three-ring abalone rosette, evoking a sense of refined tradition. A delicate zipper backstrip and BW back purfling add subtle, elegant detailing to the rear.

The solid headstock, adorned with a stunning Lotus Torch inlay, is crowned with a Brazilian rosewood overlay, while the volute adds a vintage touch that reinforces its classic design. The neck, shaped with a soft V profile, invites hours of effortless playability, while the ebony fretboard, graced with Mystic Snowflakes abalone inlays, is a testament to artistry as dazzling as a starry Southern night.

Functional details like the ivoroid heel cap, ivoroid tail wedge, and tortoise pickguard seamlessly blend utility and aesthetic. The ebony belly drop-in saddle bridge, paired with a bone nut and saddle, ensures impeccable tone transfer and sustain. With a 1 3/4" nut width and 2 5/16" bridge spacing, it offers the perfect balance of comfort and precision for fingerstyle and flatpicking alike.
