10 Guitars from Preston Thompson Guitars

Acoustic

$6,400–$7,500

A mid-sized body between the 000/Dreadnought and the Size 2 Parlor, offered in 12- or 14-fret versions with an intimate, elegant voice favored by solo performers and songwriters.

Acoustic

$6,900–$15,500

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.

Acoustic

$6,600–$6,900

A historic 'concert' size with a 13.5" lower bout, built with the same hand-graduation and scalloped bracing as Thompson's larger models, also offered as a 14-fret build.

Acoustic

$6,900–$14,500

Based on a 1929 000 owned by Charles Sawtelle, the 12 Fret 000 predates the dreadnought as one of the largest guitars of its era, with the bridge centered for efficient use of the soundboard.

Acoustic

$6,700–$15,500

The shorter-scale (24.9") sibling to Thompson's OM, favored by fingerstyle and blues players for its slightly lower string tension.

Acoustic

A new (late-2025) mid-sized crossover model that pairs a classical-guitar body outline with Thompson's standard steel-string neck, 25.4" scale, and a narrower 1 11/16" nut.

Acoustic

$6,900–$15,500

A pre-war-voiced dreadnought modeled on the 1937 Herringbone Dreadnought once owned by Charles Sawtelle, built for the volume and balance to stand up to a full bluegrass band.

Acoustic

$6,700–$15,500

The longer-scale (25.4") half of Thompson's OM/000 pairing, voiced for flatpickers and fingerstyle players who want extra punch and volume.

Acoustic

$6,500–$6,900

A steel-string reimagining of Preston's own vintage 1892 parlor guitar, with a 12" lower bout that belies a surprisingly loud, sweet voice.

Acoustic

$6,900–$15,500

A slope-shouldered cousin to Thompson's standard Dreadnought, with the same power and presence but a noted balance across the tonal spectrum.
