It has a subtle fan fret for comfort and accessibility, as well as a 14 fret body join.
As part of the DS (Dowling Signature) Series, this guitar is specced and crafted by master luthier, Rory Dowling, to create the highest quality of the instrument, incorporating the top-spec Tonewoods, innovative processes, and Rory's personal preference of design.
