2012년 1월부터 저희 Music Force Acoustic Line 이 미국 High-End Acoustic Guitar Brand인 Huss & Dalton 의 한국공식딜러가 되었습니다. 1995년도에 Jeff Huss와 Mark Dalton 두사람에 의해 세워진 Huss & Dalton 은 17년 동안 하이엔드 어쿠스틱 기타의 제작에 매진해온 회사로써 이미 미국현지에서는 상당히 알려져 있는 브랜드입니다. Acoustic Guitar & Banjo 제작의 대가이자 동시에 연주자인 Jeff Huss와 Mark Dalton은 미국 Virginia 에 터전을 잡고 최고의 목재들로 만들어진 최상의 연주감을 주는 기타를 만들기 위해 의기투합하였습니다. 이렇게 수년간의 노력 끝에 그들은 기존의 전통적인 어쿠스틱 기타 제작방식에 자신들만의 기술적인 독창성과 디자인을 가미하여 다양한 Huss & Dalton 기타 모델들을 출시하기에 이르렀습니다.

다음은 Huss & Dalton의 공식 홈페이지에서 발췌한 Huss & Dalton 기타의 특징에 대한 설명입니다. Huss & Dalton Guitar가 어떠한 사운드 컨셉으로 제작되는지, 또한 얼마나 최상급의 목재와 파츠들을 사용하는지 알 수 있는 자료로써 Huss & Dalton 기타를 이해하는데 도움이 되실 것이라 사료됩니다. 분홍색으로 표기한 부분은 가장 특징적인 Feature들입니다. 

Huss & Dalton guitars feature two distinct construction styles:

On all of our standard series models we employ the use of a 25' radius built into the guitar top. This is achieved by building an arch into the braces and also preparing the sides in the same radius to accept the soundboard. A positive by-product of the radiused soundboard design, besides its load bearing properties, is a boost in the mid-range. This helps our guitars to have a more balanced tonal quality than traditional designs.

Our Traditional series features the same 25' radius prepared into the braces but the sides are left flat for a more traditional build style. This build style tends to have a more traditional tonal character, emphasizing a bit more bass.

All Huss & Dalton guitars are braced with hand split Appalachian Red Spruce, which has a greater strength-to-weight ratio than other brace woods. All bridge plates are made from Honduras Rosewood, selected for its superior tonal properties, and resistance to string ball wear.

We use AAA grade top woods, which are checked individually for load bearing abilities, and are thickness sanded to achieve the best balance of strength and flexibility.

We use bone nuts on all of our instruments and fully compensated 1/8” bone saddles on all of our guitar models. We then compensate the scale of every string to make our intonation as close as possible to perfect.

Our necks are quarter sawn Honduras Mahogany, Maple, Walnut, or Spanish Cedar and all employ the use of a steel reinforced truss rod. Each neck is carved to a sleek comfortable feel, and we can custom shape and size your necks to fit your needs.

All fingerboards are Ebony, a beautiful, dense wood that is resistant to wear. We bind every fingerboard on every guitar model. Boards which need to have an unbound look are bound in Ebony, which is nearly invisible on an Ebony fingerboard. Binding all fingerboards means no fret ends are seen or are felt. Also, finish tends to chip away from unbound boards.

Besides technical improvements to the design of our instruments, we have made aesthetic improvements as well. Most of the instruments in our line feature solid wood bindings and are tastefully appointed with shell inlays. All of our guitars feature the use of the finest quarter sawn woods available. All Huss & Dalton instruments are priced with a hard shell case.
