Part of our new 20th Anniversary series, which celebrates the best of our guitars over a 20 year period. Evolved and more refined, wonderful tone and playability from the FALTDSPRD.  
 
Exceptional quality and tone from this guitar and remarkably under £500.  You'd expect this standard of instrument at a much, much higher price bracket. 
 
This is the direct evolution from our FA350D, which the mighty talented Ben Howard used during the time of his first album. Ben is seen in a myriad of videos on Youtube performing with his trusted Freshman.  The FALTDSPRD (also in OM version now FALTDSPRU OM as seen in our Guitar Store) is even more refined now.
 
Tone and Sound
What does it sound like? The Dreadnought body shape makes a statement. From the very first strum this dreadnought offers a crisp top end, through to a full low end that begs for rhythm work. Delivering a bold, brave sound, the FALTDSPRD gifts players with more volume without losing any tonal balance. This well-rounded sound has defined numerous careers, but no guitar will do it as well, as affordably, as the FALTDSPRD.
 
Build and Finish
Using a higher grade of tonewood than you would ever expect to find in this price bracket, the all solid FALTDSPRD features a beautiful ‘AA’ Grade Sitka Spruce top, and select Mahogany back and sides, all subtly bound with Mahogany and finished with Herringbone purfling. These higher grade woods will age perfectly, rewarding you every time you play, with clean lines and flawless finish a hallmark of the series.
