When Michael Millard and his team are given free rein to explore new possibilities, flawless and powerful guitars are the result. The Froggy Bottom Featured D-12 we have in the store today is the product of those explorations and Millard’s fascination with a 1950’s Roy Smeck Gibson “Stage Deluxe” that belonged to a friend of his father. Millard describes that guitar as “haunting; the sonority in the wound strings [was] just beyond words,” and when he constructed this D-12 in East Indian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce, he managed to achieve just that–a voice rich with resonance, sustain, and emotion. The construction is lightweight, but sturdy, and the soundbox offers great projection for flatpicking or fingerstyle. Millard’s penchant for 12-fret designs places the bridge lower on the body to allow the Adirondack Spruce to respond instantly to the strings’ vibrations. Curly Maple bindings and the smoky tobacco sunburst are a perfect counterpoint to the Abalone rosette and Ebony fretboard; the guitar is beautiful, from all angles. This guitar comes with the original TKL hardshell case.
A powerhouse Dreadnought with crisp highs and a very present middle register. The lower neck profile is easy on the hands, and the voice is moodier and more nuanced than most Dreadnoughts ever hope to be. 
A wonderful guitar with a warm and balanced bass response. One the nicest slope shouldered D size guitars I've played. The 12 fret design puts the bridge in the "sweet spot" on the top and it really works on this guitar. | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
