The folks at Pre-War Guitar Co. have carved out a particular niche for themselves with their old-school builds that are relic’d to match. Part of that recipe includes torrefied materials across the board, hide glue construction methods, and 1930s specs, and the rest feels like blood, sweat, and tears. This 000 Herringbone from 2019 is decked out with lovely Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Torrefied Adirondack Spruce top (as well as braces), and the trademark 000 short scale setup that’s easy on the hands and warms up the trebles. A distress level of 1.5 has also been applied, rendering some honest-looking play wear into the wood at the soundhole and pickguard, as well as the usual finish checking and crazing throughout. The original relic’d Waverly right angle tuners have been swapped for banjo-style tuners, but the originals are included as part of the sale. The voice on this one is wide, wide open—super energetic and expressive like a true prewar guitar ought to be!
