THE Northwood D-85 Dreadnought….Price - 1800.00
   The Northwood Dreadnought delivers the classic sound popular in bluegrass and country music. The large body volume emphasizes the lower frequencies while the lively top gives the high-end a nice shimmer. A clear vinyl pickguard is standard equipment on all Northwoods. Whether it’s the intense figure of Quilted Maple, the comfortable profile of the hand-carved Mahogany neck, the spicy aroma of the Spanish Cedar lining, or above all, the rich, sweet sound of solid-wood construction, a Northwood guitar will stimulate the senses. I am incredibly fortunate to be able to work with some of the most beautiful species of wood in the world. By combining the finest of tonewoods, an intelligent design, and the most stringent attention to detail, inside and out, I can ensure that a Northwood guitar not only looks and sounds beautiful, but performs beautifully as well. I bought this magnificent instrument four years ago with the specific intention of re-learning to play as well as I did forty years ago. Unfortunately, time is our greatest enemy. Arthritis and lack of time has forced me to face reality. Consequently, I am required to let this beautiful guitar go. I am extremely emotional about this. Its saying good-by to a very good time in my life. The person who wins this instrument will have one of the most beautiful looking and sounding guitars in the world. Ask any Northwood dealer and the will tell you they cannot keep these in stock. For all intents and purposes, this guitar has never been played. It is in perfect condition and I even have the original paperwork from Northwood. I am including a Taylor solid wood stand, capo, leather strap, various picks and an extra set of Martin Strings. There is a lot of hype that gets flung around on auction pages. THIS IS THE REAL THING! If you play guitar, don’t let this get away! You will thank yourself for the rest of your life.
