Formerly named the 'BG' model, Perretta Dreadnoughts are based on the designs of the great pre-war guitars favored by bluegrass and folk players. The sound is big and powerful with a strong, clear bass and the airy quality of vintage instruments.

With spruce top, advanced scalloped bracing, rosewood back and sides and herringbone purfling, this is our take on the D-28 'Bone', one of the best models ever produced.

Mother-of-pearl logo inlay and vintage style tuners complete the look.

This one has claro walnut back and sides with matching sound hole rosette inlay and curly maple binding.
