Default FS/FT: Preston Thompson Dreadnought D-EIA

£5000 or possible trade deals.

This is going to be one of those ‘one that got away’ guitars. I think this one was made 2020 ish and hardly played. I am in the lucky position to have a number of dreadnoughts that I don’t mind taking out to places to play so this beauty is being neglected. I have also realised that I am more Billy No Mates than Billy Strings. This is not just a Bluegrass machine however. It has a sweetness of tone that suits fingerstyle as well as pick work. Just lovely.

In overall fantastic condition with just a small anomaly in the finish to the front lower bout where it looks like the finish has sunk a little bit in a couple of small spots. Really hard to see and even more difficult to photograph. No structural issues/cracks etc. Plays wonderfully. Fitted with K&K Pure Mini pickup.
