This Crossroads Deluxe is a vintage-styled, high-grade, blues monster.
The Huss and Dalton crossroads series instruments are all similarly designed to the guitars of the middle of last century, with simpler bindings and rosettes, closed-gear three-on-a-plate tuners, a classic peghead shape and tons of soul. That said, these great instruments from Staunton, Virginia play smoother and easier than those old Gibsons ever did!
This Deluxe has some of the most beautiful figured maple that you could ask for, with flame so deep you can get lost in it, and just about every surface that you can see, from the top to the sides to the back of the headstock has a delicately gradiated, tobacco-hued sunburst finish. All around, the finishing touches on this guitar are outstanding in a very organic, classic fashion.
For a fingerpicker, this double-O is a loud, resonant, complex player. It delivers a sound that's hot, but also has a more sophisticated flavor and woody roundness than most maple instruments are capable of. If you're looking to sing through some seriously bluesy fingerstyle licks, this little powerhouse is hard to beat!
Hardshell case included.
