Once Adirondack Spruce has been played in enough, the woke tones it’s capable of are a thing to behold. Enter: this Petros Applecreek D model from 2009 with Brazilian Rosewood to boot. The voice is easy, smooth, and velvety rich; in the bass you have the perfect amount of emotive darkness, while the trebles remain cool and round and defined. The midrange is present and articulate to bridge the gap. What a fabulous fingerstyle instrument! The Adirondack soundboard has truly bloomed into a powerhouse since ’09, and paired with BRW and the large Petros D body (16” at the lower bout) the result is a big, energetic voice plus excellent string-to-string balance. What more could you ask for?

A large dreadnought body works really well on this Petros. Bruce is known for a sparkling, shimmering sound and here you also get added bass response from the larger body. Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack spruce finish the job adding depth warmth to the shimmer. 
Lots of power and headroom, with elegant overtones to bring a smoothness to the voice. The Petros take on the Dreadnought shape results here in a versatile box that handles flatpicking as well as fingerstyle. I really enjoyed putting this one into C9! | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
