Handmade by Showalter Guitars in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, this slightly larger than usual Dreadnought made with a Sitka Spruce top and Red Elm sides and back, is an heirloom guitar that delivers a deep and lively punch. Beauty and function are both highlighted in this unique instrument. The use of red elm gives this guitar sound you can't buy from mainstream brands and the craftsmanship reflects the pride Showalter Guitars has for putting amazing guitars into the hands of passionate people.
