Dreadnought guitar in rosewood and sitka spruce

This is my version of a dreadnought.  It features the classic materials:  Indian rosewood and Sitka

spruce and is built to be similar to the pre-war Martin's.  This guitar has an over-sized soundhole

and "pre-war" style scalloped braces.  The sound is big, full, with plenty of bass and well-defined

midrange and treble.
