Default Preston Thompson D-18 - Sold

Here is my minty Preston Thompson D-18 Adi/Cuban mahogany. The guitar is 2-3 years old and I cannot find a mark on it. Fine Adi top and up grade Cuban Mahogany with some beeswing figure, it is a beauty. I have played several of these and this one is outstanding, the best sounding one I have heard.
Perfect setup, frets show no wear, nut is 1 & 3/4 " ; at saddle is 2 & 5/16.
Comes with perfect Harptone case and paperwork. Sold.

I had a question about the string spacing at the nut. I looked at the paperwork which says it is 1 & 3/4 ", so that's what it is.
Also noticed the thru bone saddle is an option on this one, and of course the Adi top and Cuban mahogany b&s.

I can vouch for this one. Great guitar & a great seller, too!

I'd buy it back in a heartbeat, if I had the funds.

Yeah, Thompson Dreads are pretty awesome. I have a Thompson Rosewood D-28 and it is stellar. Can’t go wrong here.

How does this compare to the two Altman dreads you've had listed recently? Either of them still for sale as well?

Beautiful guitars!

Both Altmans sold and they were great guitars, but this Thompson is exceptional, I think it is at least in part the Cuban Mahogany. On of the best new 18's I have ever had, and I've had some.
