Huss & Dalton Guitars Breedlove guitar

Models Currently in Stock | Full Catalog

Huss and Dalton Guitar Company, Inc., began in 1995. Jeff Huss and Mark Dalton had a vision of a guitar that paid homage to tradition while incorporating improvements in the structural design and cosmetics of the steel-string guitar.

Huss & Dalton guitars feature two distinct construction styles. All Standard series models employ the use of a 25-inch radius built into the guitar top. This is achieved by building an arch into the braces and also preparing the sides in the same radius to accept the soundboard. A positive by-product of the radiused soundboard design, besides its load bearing properties, is a boost in the mid-range. This helps the guitars to have a more balanced tonal quality than traditional designs. The Traditional series features the same 25-inch radius prepared into the braces but the sides are left flat for a more traditional build style. This style tends to have a more traditional tonal character, emphasizing a bit more bass.

All Huss & Dalton guitars are braced with hand-split Appalachian Red Spruce, which has a greater strength-to-weight ratio than other brace woods. All bridge plates are made from Honduras Rosewood, selected for its superior tonal properties and resistance to string ball wear. Huss & Dalton uses AAA grade top woods, which are checked individually for load bearing abilities and are thickness sanded to achieve the best balance of strength and flexibility. All instruments have bone nuts and fully compensated 1/8-inch bone saddles.

Necks are quarter sawn Honduras Mahogany, Maple, Walnut, or Spanish Cedar and all employ the use of a steel reinforced truss rod. Each neck is carved to a sleek comfortable feel, and can be custom shaped and sized to fit your needs. All fingerboards are Ebony; a beautiful, dense, wear-resistant wood. All fingerboards are also bound; those which need to have an unbound look are bound in Ebony, which is nearly invisible. Binding all fingerboards means no fret ends are seen or are felt. Also, the finish tends to chip away from unbound boards.

All Huss & Dalton instruments are priced with a hard shell case. Please contact us or visit the Huss & Dalton website for more information.
