First introduced in 1963, the D-50 Bluegrass Special was designed for pure performance. Traditional vintage elements such as a red spruce top with scalloped red spruce braces, and an Indian rosewood body combine to produce a bold, deeply resonant playing experience. With exceptional string-to-string balance, excellent playability, and powerful projection the D-50 Bluegrass Special is a versatile and well rounded instrument that is well suited for a variety of different playing styles.
