All the way from 1996, we have a Don Musser Dreadnought, decked out in some mighty fine Brazilian rosewood and Spruce. This instrument comes from an earlier point in Don’s career, and you can see some of the design elements that later developed into the signature Musser aesthetic, such as the carved nut and abalone rosette. With minimalistic appointments, the natural aesthetics do all the heavy lifting. The slender neck and narrow spacing make this an easy and fast-playing instrument. It is also wide open from years of maturation.Other keywords/misspellings: Luthier, lutherie, bespoke, silver city, new mexico, norms, 167, brazStatus: in_stockBrand: Musser GuitarsModel: DreadnoughtSerial #: 167New/Preowned: PreownedSKU: TMP10085Condition: Good, a few marks on top and back. very clean for age.
