This 2015 Rockbridge Custom Dreadnought showcases the Virginia builder’s approach to the modern bluegrass-inspired flattop, pairing an Adirondack spruce top with rosewood back and sides for a powerful, expansive voice. Built with a mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, it offers a blend of strong projection, clear fundamentals, and the rich overtone content that many players seek from a rosewood dreadnought. The 25" scale length and generous string spacing provide plenty of room for both flatpicking and fingerstyle approaches without sacrificing responsiveness. Ornamental touches such as the bald eagle inlay and 12th fret mountain make this instrument stand out.
Rockbridge has earned a loyal following among acoustic musicians for building instruments that balance contemporary precision with the tonal goals of prewar-inspired designs. This custom example has a lively, open character with the headroom and depth expected from a well-made dreadnought, while retaining a pleasing sense of clarity across the register. The neck features a comfortable C profile. Cosmetically, it remains in excellent condition.
Includes a white Calton case.
