Dorchester is a series of solid and double-cut guitars with asymmetrical cutaway and offset waist. The standard model of this series is named Dorchester and it features the flat-top body made of mahogany and poplar. Chambered, double-cut and flat on top, Dorchester`s body reminds a bit of Rickenbacker styling. There are two color options available for this model, the Black and elegant Cherry Burst. Both of them come with a choice between the maple and rosewood fingerboard. Both fingerboards are fit with 22 frets, dot inlays and 1-11/16" wide string nut. Bridge section on this model is made up of two components, the roller bridge in the front and stoptail bar in the back. Lace Alumitone pickups are installed in the front. Set in neck is made of rock maple and it crocks the classic C contour in the back.
