All the way from 1996, we have a Don Musser Dreadnought, decked out in some mighty fine Brazilian rosewood and Spruce. This instrument comes from an earlier point in Don’s career, and you can see some of the design elements that later developed into the signature Musser aesthetic, such as the carved nut and abalone rosette. With minimalistic appointments, the natural aesthetics do all the heavy lifting. The slender neck and narrow spacing make this an easy and fast-playing instrument. It is also wide open from years of maturation.

As many of you may know, I personally own a Musser Dreadnought, and there’s simply no higher praise I can give a builder. It’s amazing to get a glimpse into the history of Don’s work—truly sublime. 
What immediately stands out to me is the precision of individual notes, and how well they fit together in chords. This is the sort of box that allows big sounds to retain sweetness and clarity, and frankly I was impressed by how much definition and depth I was able to coax out even with a light fingerstyle touch. Originally built for Norm's Rare Guitars, this beauty comes from 1996 and has opened up handsomely. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
