Orpheum Slope Shoulder 14-Fret Dreadnoughts
The Orpheum Slope Shoulder 14-Fret Rosewood Dreadnought (Natural) and Orpheum Slope Shoulder 14-Fret Mahogany Dreadnought (Natural, Sunburst) guitars are available with rosewood or mahogany back and sides and offer a distinctive difference for the discerning player--sloping shoulders that gracefully curve away from the neck in marked contrast to conventional straight-shoulder dreadnought design. Further, their three-piece mahogany/rosewood/mahogany necks joins the body at the 14th fret, contributing to a punchy yet warm and well-balanced tone that makes them great as both a lead and rhythm instrument.
Premium features also include an Adirondack red spruce top with scalloped red spruce bracing, solid rosewood or mahogany back and sides, traditional hot hide-glue construction, 20-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl-dot inlays and 12 radius, bone nut, elegant cream neck and body binding, and a nitrocellulose lacquer neck finish. Other features include a tortoiseshell pickguard, pyramid-style ebony bridge with bone saddle and pins, Guild-logo Gotoh® SE-700 open-back tuners with cream buttons, and deluxe hard-shell case.
