D37 Pre-War

Drawing on those vintage guitars of the Pre-War era, we have reintroduced a V-shaped neck which is in keeping with the original tradition. This really makes the guitar feel and play like those instruments. Baked AAA Adirondack tops are a perfect match, and Indian Rosewood provides a great replacement for Brazilian Rosewood which would have been part of the original spec but has since become extremely difficult to ethically source. The colour and grain of Indian Rosewood has proven to be as wonderful as its ability to recreate the tones of its Brazilian counterpart. Finish all of this off with accoutrements such as Mother of Pearl inlays and headstock logo inlay and our super thin aged nitro finish, and you have yourself a time-tested formula for success.

We thought about the legendary solo artists who have stood on stages around the world for the last 60 years using classic guitars from the Pre-War era to tell their tales. Our standard D37 model has taken so many of these thoughts into account already, but the D37 Pre-War is about taking that to the next level.
