Standard Series: The Nazareth Benchmark D-28 & HD-28 (The Standard of Acoustic Power): Solid Sitka spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing (HD-28), herringbone purfling, and booming low-end projection. D-18 (Mahogany Warmth & Articulation): Solid spruce top with genuine mahogany back and sides—delivering clear, focused fundamental notes ideal for recording and bluegrass flatpicking. 000-18 & 000-28 (Auditorium Balance): Compact body with a 24.9" short scale length, offering fast, fatigue-free fretting and balanced frequency response for fingerstyle players. D-35: Famous 3-piece rosewood back design providing extended low-end harmonic bloom for singer-songwriters. 2. 15 Series: Pure Genuine Mahogany All-Solid Mahogany Construction: Solid mahogany top, back, sides, and neck (000-15M, D-15M) delivering warm, woody compression, strong midrange bark, and vintage blues character. StreetMaster Distressed Finishes: Pre-aged satin finish that celebrates the look and feel of a broken-in, road-worn vintage instrument. Simple Dovetail Neck Joint: Hand-fitted neck joinery ensuring maximum vibrational transfer between neck and body. 3. SC Series, Road Series & Modern Deluxe SC-10E & SC-13E (Sure Align Neck): Patented Sure Align linear neck joint with an ergonomic asymmetrical body and no heel—offering unhindered access to the highest frets like an electric guitar.
