DT30D: The "double top" spirit, between tradition and modernity
With its large body size (16" / 406.4 mm width) and double top design, the DT30D embodies a modern approach to acoustic guitar: preserving the character and warmth of traditional lutherie while enhancing the top's vibrational efficiency. This architecture, combined with hand-scalloped X bracing, aims to offer greater responsiveness at low attack levels while retaining reserve when played louder. The result is an acoustic guitar designed for musicians seeking nuance, projection, and refinement.
For which guitarists and styles?
The DT30D is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive and precise acoustic. Its long scale length of 25.4" / 645.2 mm provides tension, definition, and stability, highly appreciated in fingerstyle, pop/folk accompaniment, open tunings, or for rich and detailed arpeggios. The nut width of 44.5 mm / 1.75" offers comfortable spacing for the left hand, ideal for complex chords and arrangements.
Sound characteristics
The Sitka spruce soundboard is renowned for its clarity, power reserve, and wide dynamic range: it handles pick attack while remaining sensitive to finger nuances. Here, the double top design with Nomex core enhances responsiveness and projection, with a very quick "getting into motion" sensation. The solid rosewood back and sides enrich the spectrum: ample lows, scooped mids, and bright highs, with long sustain that highlights resonances and chord harmonics. The ebony fingerboard and bridge add attack and precision, while the bone components (nut and saddle) promote vibration transmission and note-to-note definition.
