Used 2023 Huss & Dalton DS-12 Custom featuring a thermo-cured Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides in very good condition and including its original hardshell case. With its slightly larger 12-fret body dimensions and ultra light hand-scalloped advanced x-bracing, this dreadnought makes for the perfect "quiver of one" for a self-accompanying singer songwriter. It lends itself well to both fingerstlyle and strumming and has a clear, polished tone with generous low end that holds together nicely. As is to be expected from Huss & Dalton, general craftsmanship and fit and finish are exemplary, and it plays like a dream with action measuring 6/64" and 4/64" from the 12th fret to the bottom of the low and high strings, respectively, with .005" relief in the neck and proper saddle exposure over the surface of the bridge.
This guitar came to us with a prior repair in the neck heel, presumably where a strap button installation went awry, but it otherwise shows very little wear in either the finish or the frets. See photographs for condition.
