This Troublesome Creek exclusive design features an Appalachian Red Spruce top and a 13-fret neck joined to a uniquely profiled, comfortable depth, long, slope-D body. Our new Balanced Fulcrum Bridge with its smiling pin line blends performance, stability and beauty into what may be the ultimate steel string guitar bridge. All of our guitars have soundhole-adjustable, two-way truss rod systems and our signature hot-hide-glued top bracing. Our SD-1 and SD-2 models feature a choice of firestripe or tortoise pickguards.
