2012 Huss & Dalton TOM-R Custom
This exceptional 2012 Huss & Dalton TOM-R is a masterpiece of acoustic luthiery, blending pre-war inspiration with modern precision. At the heart of this instrument is a breathtaking set of straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides, paired perfectly with a premium Adirondack Spruce top. Underneath, the top is meticulously voiced with Adirondack Spruce bracing and constructed using traditional hide glue. This legendary tonewood combination and old-school build technique deliver an incredibly rich, complex voice with deep, piano-like lows, sweet trebles, and an expansive headroom that responds beautifully to both a light fingerstyle touch and heavy flatpicking.
True to its Traditional Orchestra Model design, this guitar features a standard 25.4-inch scale length and a highly requested 1 3/4-inch nut width, offering a spacious and comfortable feel for your fretting hand. The playability is absolutely effortless, set up to play like a dream across the entire ebony fingerboard. Custom appointments include elegant herringbone top purfling, a traditional square headstock with a stunning Brazilian rosewood overlay, and wave-style fingerboard inlays that give it a timeless, sophisticated aesthetic.
Maintained in exceptional++ condition, this TOM-R shows only the faintest signs of light handling and has been kept in a climate-controlled environment. It has aged beautifully over the last 14 years, allowing the premium woods to open up into a remarkably mature, resonant instrument that will easily anchor any high-end acoustic collection. It ships ready to play in its original deluxe hardshell case.
