Flamed Myrtle wood from Oregon, combined with Ebony binding, fret board, and bridge, plus a segmented spalted Maple rosette all add up to one beautiful guitar. The Sitka Spruce top was selected for its superior sonic properties prior to building, and it was then voiced and tuned using a cutting edge computer-assisted process that combines art and science. The result is clear balanced tone, great projection, with fat treble and great bass response without the typical mid-range muddiness common to factory made brands. This is the first build to be produced in the Kansas City shop, and it was purchased in mid-production. The wood for the rosette has been in my possession since 1983. Gold Gotoh tuners with Ebony buttons add the final touch of class to this instrument.
