Description

We’re proud to announce our latest parternship—this time with local luthier Larry Brown—with six incredible guitars from L-00 copies and Dreadnoughts to SJs and Classicals.

This new Brown Dreadnought is based on 1937 specs, and features Pau Ferro back and sides and an Adirondack Spruce top for that classic Rosewood-Ady sound, Mahogany neck, and 28-style appointments. Varnish body, French Polish top, all-hide glue construction and forward-shifted X braces to boot. This Dread has a fully adjustable neck angle (accessed by a bolt on the outside of the heel), so say goodbye, neck reset! You can dial the setup in on a whim with just a flick of the wrist. The voice has a dry, crisp flavor as though it were a vintage piece, and it’s a great choice for flatpicking with power, be it Bluegrass, Country, or beyond.

Larry Brown‘s take on the 1937 Martin D-28 is inspirational. He went for all the tone of premium woods and stay true to the specs of the prewar design but for adding a welcome feature of an adjustable neck she can be guaranteed a perfect play ability for years to come. This one has it all.
