This dreadnought is patterned after a pre-war D-45. It has a dove tail neck joint, with ebony fingerboard. Mahagony neck, sitka spruce top, solid east Indian Rosewood back and sides, parabolic X- bracing and adjustable truss rod. It also features ornate abalone inlays. This also has a passive pickup professionally installed, no batteries needed. Very beautiful big sound. Call or text me with any questions. Lori show contact info
