Monarch 12 String, Myrtle wood with Spalted Maple Rosette

This commissioned 12 String will make it’s home in Hawaii. Completed in May 2015, it is made from figured Myrtle wood. The top is Sitka Spruce, and the fretboard, bridge, and bindings are Ebony. The rosette is made from spalted Maple segments with Ebony dividers. The end wedge is made from spalted Maple, and the gold tuners with black buttons give this guitar a classy and distinctive appearance. The petite fretboard inlays are of gold Mother of Pearl, as is the hand cut Dogwood logo in the peghead. This guitar has the full, clear tone you would expect from a Dogwood, with the added sparkle of a 12 string.
