Critic Reviews

Huss and Dalton TD-R - Peghead Nation

pegheadnation.com

The Huss & Dalton TD-R showcases exceptional craftsmanship and premium materials, boasting a stunning thermo-cured red spruce top and Indian rosewood body. Its playability is enhanced by a slightly wider neck, making it suitable for both flatpicking and fingerstyle. However, at a steep price of $5,373, it may not be accessible for all musicians. While the guitar shines in tonal richness and aesthetic appeal, some may find the cost prohibitive. Overall, it’s a worthy investment for serious players seeking a high-end dreadnought, but be prepared for the hefty price tag.
