Huss & Dalton Crossroads 14 Sunburst, 2020

On October 6, 2021 /

The Huss & Dalton Crossroads 14 takes cues from the small body flat-top guitars used by many blues players from the 1920s to 1940s, but with more body depth to enhance bass response. This model is also available in a 12-fret version. The 14-fret version is really called the ‘Crossroads’, with the 12-fret being the ‘Crossroads 12’, but it’s easy to confuse the two.
