{"product_id":"preston-thompson-d-eia-standard","title":"Preston Thompson: D-EIA Standard","description":"\u003cp\u003ePreston Thompson Dreadnought models are all crafted to produce the tone and volume that the dreadnought guitar was originally designed to achieve. These are powerful instruments that, when needed, stand up to the volume of a mandolin, fiddle and banjo. They have the bass response that provides an almost full orchestral backing to vocals. Their mid-range response and bright trebles take flatpicking and lead playing to new levels of achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are traditional instruments and all models are based on the famous 1937 Herringbone Dreadnought, owned by the late, great Charles Sawtelle of the award winning bluegrass band, Hot Rize. All feature Red spruce (Adirondack) tops chosen for tap tone and stiffness, advanced X brace placement, hand graduated top thickness, pre-war hand carved scalloped braces, nitro-cellulose lacquer finishes and time tested design features such as dovetail neck joints.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s all about sound, and that is what the Thompson Dreadnought specializes in. Regardless of the model – mahogany, East Indian rosewood, Honduran rosewood or Brazilian rosewood, Thompson Dreadnoughts are built with the finest woods, materials and craftsmanship to deliver that sought after pre-war sound and playing feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Barrel: Vintage Brown Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop: Natural Gloss\u003cbr\u003eBack\/Sides: Natural Gloss\u003cbr\u003eFinger board: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: 14th Fret Adjustable\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Overlay: Figured Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Logo: Thompson MOP\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock Binding: None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock Type: Solid\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Binding: None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Width:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolute: Yes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: 1 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12th Fret: 2 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString Spacing: 2 5\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: .860\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Soft V\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeel Cap: Ivoroid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinger Board:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: 28 Style Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay: Slotted Diamonds and Squares\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlay Material: Abalone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 25.4 Long\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Position Markers: 2mm Dots\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Position Material: White MOP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Adirondack\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and Sides: East Indian\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Style: D-EIA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Purfling: Herringbone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Purfling: BW\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Purfling: None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundhole specs: 4\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRossette: 3 Ring 28 Style\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Strip: Zig Zag\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTail Wedge: Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Bracing Pattern: Advanced X Adirondack\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Bracing: Pre-War Scalloped\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Bracing: Adirondack\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTongue Brace: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd Pin\/ Bridge Pins: Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Button: None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Type: Ebony Belly Drop-In\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Nickel Waverly Butterbean 4060 solid\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material\/Style: Bone Compensated\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: Medium\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePick Guard: Tortoise Dreadnought\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Wire Type: Standard Nickel Silver\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup\/Electronics: None\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack Type: None-1\/4\" Hole\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: TKL Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Area 22 Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45266449104949,"sku":"755673V","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2606\/3925\/files\/PTDEIA_01.png?v=1787676785","url":"https:\/\/area22guitars.com\/products\/preston-thompson-d-eia-standard","provider":"Area 22 Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
