Timeless, indeed: our 2020 Preston Thompson D-14TMA Custom from their ultra exclusive Timeless Series. The Tree Mahogany back and sides—with extravagant turtleback figure—is here paired with Adirondack Spruce with Ebony bindings. Along the fretboard and headplate, recurring geometric marquetry with Mountain Mahogany, Brown Lip Shell, Black Pearl. Waverly tuners, 1 3/4” nut, EVO frets. A work of functional art.
The voice is distinctly smooth, even, and elegant. This doesn’t sound like your standard Mahogany Bluegrass strummer, although it performs fabulously in that capacity. We find the voice equally suited for fingerstyle work, letting individual notes really ring out. The clarity from string to string is really something you need to experience in person for maximum effect. This Timeless PKT Dreadnought is in its own category.
Here's an additoiinal demo with our own Allen Shadd: https://youtu.be/Our2k9s3WO4

I am so proud to be affiliated with the Timeless series from Preston Thompson Guitars. This guitar is a wonderful example of our collaboration. I’ve visited their shop and saw the woods while we were dreaming of the design. It came out amazing, such a big full sound. Each individual string has a lot of weight and character.
