Slope Shoulder Dreadnought


The Thompson Slope Shoulder 14 fret Dreadnought is a cousin to our standard 14 fret Dreadnought models. These comfortable and graceful guitars have the powerful presence of all Thompson Dreadnoughts but are noted for having a balanced tone across the board. They are vibrant guitars with a strong, clear response and lush warmth.

All models feature Adirondack tops and bracing. Each top is individually hand graduated to bring out the best possible response. The traditional X braces are forward shifted and hand scalloped in the 1930’s style.

These instruments are offered with Mahogany, East Indian Rosewood, Panama Rosewood and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. All deliver the outstanding craftsmanship, design and tone that Thompson Guitars have become renowned for.
