Huss & Dalton MJC (S$4200)

SOLD!!


Huss & Dalton MJC (S$4200)

Here is our third guitar from Huss & Dalton. Most of you would probably not have heard of them as they are relatively unknown in our region. However, they are a small-shop builder ranked amongst brands like Goodall, Collings and Santa Cruz. Their production is about 20-25 guitars per month, so every guitar is pain-stakingly crafted, tuned and setup for the finest possible playing experience.

As this is my first contact with guitars from H&D, I have to say that I was absolutely blown away by the MJC (mini-jumbo cutaway). Everything about this guitar speaks of elegance and class. Check out the herringbone purfling on the top and soundhole rosette. The rosewood binding on the fingerboard and body complements the understated look of this guitar. And the stingray inlays on the fingerboard are both eye-catching but yet so subtle. The tweed TKL hardcase with crushed velvet interior is sooo sexy (even my wife commented that it looks really nice).

The first strum of the guitar is what hits you the most - Full and rich sounding notes that blend and resonate so strongly within the guitar without sacrificing note separation. The tone has a vintage vibe but much more overtones and incredible balance, not forgetting a sweetness and sustain that rings on and on. Projection and volume is loud and clear. The neck is also very similar to a Taylor, slim and fast, so Taylor fans will love the neck and low action. All in all, I have to say that this H&D MJC is my fav guitar so far, with a tone to die for and very easily playable Taylorish neck.

IMHO, the H&D has the tone of a Goodall but the advantage of a slimmer and Taylorish neck, and most importantly, it's more affordable than a Goodall.
