The DreadNot®® is a round-shouldered dreadnought that creates a whole new sound for acoustic guitars.
Crafted to rival the legendary Martin dreadnoughts, this guitar features a round-shoulder design that delivers a fresh voice, aesthetic, and tactile experience that musicians have desired since its debut. The back and sides are made from AAA Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood, while the soundboard is constructed from AAA Sitka Spruce.
The combination of a bleached bone nut and saddle, white binding, laminated ebony and holly purfling, along with a herringbone rosette, unifies the overall design beautifully. We believe you'll find it to be an exceptionally beautiful instrument!
Each guitar body is hand cut from selected reclaimed old growth woods. Each is then carefully sculpted using rasps, files and sandpaper, and each then goes through a unique proprietary process of heat and friction to seal the end grain.

Each guitar is Made-to-Order. Because each guitar body is hand carved and painted, no two instruments, and no two of the same models, are exactly alike. EACH is its own piece of art, separate from the others. These are not mass-produced, and do require a 2-3 month wait time once ordered. Because each guitar is made-to-order, we cannot offer exchanges or returns. Full Details
The slower transference of acoustic energy from the non-glued neck yields a little more pop and attack from the string—in essence, it decouples the strings from the body and neck. The snap and pop of the bolt-on guitar neck emphasizes note definition. It adds a sharpness and firmness that contribute to a cutting tone.
One of the most common scale lengths is the 25-1/2" (648mm) guitar scale and found on a wide variety of instruments. The 25-1/2" scale produces a rich, strong, bell-like tone, and defined low-end.
