D 12-Fret
A 12-fret dreadnought with a slotted headstock, combining dreadnought power with 12-fret warmth for fingerstyle playing.
About this guitar
The D-12 Fret combines a dreadnought-size mahogany body with a 12-fret neck join and slotted headstock, giving fingerstyle players a wider neck at the nut and a warmer, more balanced voice than a standard 14-fret dreadnought while keeping the bass response and sustain of the larger body.
