Check out this beautiful new Fairbanks F-35!! This one has that gorgeous sunburst, and has the "light relic" finish (tastefully done). Incredibly lightweight, with a woody and open tonality - this guitar is a revelation (as are all of Dale Fairbanks' guitars!). It has that "thing" going on, the open thumpy bass notes, the high end clarity, the warm midrange. This guitar will make someone exceptionally happy! Here is Fairbanks' description:
My personal favorite guitar design of all time, this slope-shouldered dreadnought has all the volume, honk, and bark that the best vintage examples are known for. Don’t let the short scale lull you into complacency: it can hold its own in a bluegrass combo or get real funky with some finger-style blues.
Headroom is seemingly limitless and the mahogany back and sides lend a particular woodiness that is unique to this body style. If you’re looking for a 16” dread to feed your tortured soul, the search is over.
