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.

Molly's artist profile on the Huss & Dalton website lists two models that she uses: the TD-R and the TOM-M.

In this video from youtube, Mollys discusses this guitar at 2:17, "I have two Huss & Dalton guitars. One of them is actually in an exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame right now so I can't use it. They put it in there because that was the guitar I played when I was winning the IBMA guitar award."
