A full-bodied guitar that can deliver bold low-end tone and graceful treble with equal aplomb, The Dread represents Gold Tone’s authentic take on one of the industry’s most iconic acoustic formulas.

To top it all off, a suitable Fishman pickup system with Volume and Tone controls is onboard, eagerly awaiting your next stage or studio session with an authentic, adjustable tone.

Embracing timeless acoustic tone

The Dread features a traditional tonewood makeup of a mahogany back and sides that supply a warm and powerful tonality, which pairs well with a range of genres and playing styles, and a solid spruce top that balances out your sound with the historic snap of time-tested acoustic instruments. Shaping and navigating your sound is effortless thanks to The Dread's satin-finished mahogany neck, armed with a supple rosewood fingerboard for seamless access to every fret. If you’re looking for an acoustic guitar that employs a traditional tone through modern comfort and maneuverability, The Dread is your match.

Like all Gold Tone instruments, The Dread is lined with a collection of the company’s finest hardware appointments and details for utmost playability and performance. To start, an ebony bridge and true bone nut supply a comfortable and authentic playing field, bolstered by sturdy nickel hardware and Grover open-gear tuners on the headstock for excellent intonation support. The Dread has no shortage of good looks, either; meticulous Gold Tone craftsmanship and classic pearloid dot-style inlays leave no doubts that this acoustic will look great in any stage, studio, or home setting. From heel to headstock, our guitarists agree that The Dread looks and performs just as beautifully as it sounds.
