Preston Thompson Dreadnought

Steel-string guitar · United States

The Preston Thompson Dreadnought is a powerful prewar-style guitar that the maker says can stand up to the volume of a mandolin, fiddle and banjo and provide an almost full orchestral backing to vocals. It is built with Adirondack red spruce tops, advanced X-brace placement, hand-graduated tops, prewar-style hand-carved scalloped braces, nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, and dovetail neck joints. The design is based on the famous 1937 Herringbone Dreadnought owned by the late Charles Sawtelle.
