Model Z-A1: Ziricote
Back and sides &S, Alpine
Spruce top.
Ziricote
is without any doubt one of the most stunning Tropical woods on the planet.
The figuring on the grain is simply put SPECTACULAR. Tap tone is PERFECT
! Looking at the grain, you would think that a Surrealistic painter worked
on his canvas for countless hours. I do not know any other wood that possesses
such varied figuring in such a reduced surface.
I matched the gorgeously bookmatched
Ziricote with an Alpine Spruce top from Val D'Aosta, Italian Alps. Bonded
the parts using African Padauk in the bindings and the most delicate handmade
marquetry for the decoration. The ease of play she offers is unbelievable...I
set her extremely low at 3.2 mm. A little low for a player with my power
in the right hand but surely perfect for most players out there. She can
still be lowered an extra millimeter or more should you want to tinker
with the action.
Listen to Cavatina to best judge
the Quality of her sound. Sweet, expressive and yet with enough punch and
aggressiveness to make her the perfect instrument for the guitar repertoire.
In a nutshell, she is a masterpiece you'll love with all your heart...
