This piece just returned from a most talented luthier, Sacramento's own Mark Dobbins, who performed a flawless neck reset on it. When I received the guitar, the action was high and the saddle low. It plays perfectly now.
The original frets have likely been milled once, but they have enough life to last a lifetime. The neck is perfect. There are no cracks, repairs (other than the neck reset and resulting saddle replacement), and no changes to the finish.
The woods are visibly of the highest quality. The bookmatched back is out of this world. The sides are matched as well - check out the grain symmetry.
This 1996 Roy Noble DH-100 is a hand-crafted dreadnought acoustic built by one of America’s most respected luthiers, known for his work with artists like Vince Gill, James Taylor, and Doc Watson, Roy Noble’s guitars are renowned for their balance, projection, and tonal sophistication.
The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, articulate feel, while Noble’s precision bracing design ensures incredible responsiveness and dynamic range. The craftsmanship is exquisite—clean purfling, flawless binding, and perfectly voiced resonance that only the best boutique builders achieve.
