0000
Preston's original body shape (once called the T-1), with a 16" lower bout that delivers near-dreadnought volume in a narrower-waisted, more comfortable body.
About this guitar
The 0000 was the very first body shape Preston drew and built, and remains known for its big 16” lower bout tone and balance. It offers roughly the volume of a Dreadnought but in a more comfortable-to-play body thanks to a tighter waist and narrower depth, with a standard 25.4” scale and a full range of back/side tonewoods, including a rare salt-water-cured Alaska Barge Sitka top option.
