The mahogany neck also received the tobacco color treatment to match the back, with a satin finish for a smooth handfeel. White binding accents the dreadnought''s contours and adds a crisp counterpoint against the tobacco shading. Body ShapeThe dreadnought is one of the most traditional acoustic guitar...
