Description

Like many, North Carolina luthier Ken Hooper aims for the high bar set by pre-war Martins, always keeping that gold standard in mind when crafting his guitars. Also inspired by Wayne Henderson and Don Wilson, among others, he meticulously crafts acoustic flattops and mandolins, preferring red spruce, hide glue, and a light construction. This strong sounding and beautifully appointed 12-fret D-42 was made in 2020, using shipwrecked Brazilian rosewood and Appalachian red spruce from nearby Maggie Valley. This guitar has nice projection with that rich Brazilian Rosewood tone. Comes with a Calton hard case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
