The Aldridge

The Aldridge model is named after the Aldridge Theater that once stood in the thriving black district of Oklahoma City known as Deep Deuce. It was built in 1920 and was a cornerstone of the Oklahoma City music scene during the hey-day of the Jazz Age. My Aldridge is an homage to the instruments of that era. With a 16” lower bout and parallel bracing it can cut through a band with mid-range punch without sacrificing a beautiful tone that will also suit solo guitar playing.
