This DS Custom is a mahogany Slope D with a very high grade natural Adirondack spruce top. As beautiful and tasty as it looks, the real story is a great voice and feel for flatpicking and strumming that is excellent for fingerstyle. Huss and Dalton's square-shouldered D's are also world class dreadnoughts but the DS, like most round shouldered D's, have a little more midrange and pop because of the radiused top and the larger soundhole. Hard to beat the big bass of the square-shouldered version for bluegrass but this one with its mahogany body and Adirondack top, can and yet is a little nicer as an all around and singer-songwriter type guitar and more than a few fingerstyle players, including me, like these slope D's because of this balance and the bigger midrange voice. We have left the pickguard off this instrument so you can have your choice of the standard Huss & Dalton pick guard of other colors, patterns and shapes in hand beveled and polished top of the line Greven Tor-Tis pickguards.
