Gold plated carved tuners with Ebony buttons, hand crafted Leather embossed case included. Masterpiece! Stunning is the first adjective that comes to mind when you look at this masterpiece of modern luthery. A perfect combination of the most sought after woods accompanied by state of the art detailing throughout her body. Gorgeous marquetry present on all sides, on the bridge, rosette and on the headplate. A stunning figure on the over 100 years air dried set of Brazilian Rosewood made from the demolished doors of an old church near Cascavel (Southern Brazil). The response of the wood to tap tone was marvelous and I knew she would have a mature, deep voice. The 280 year old Kingwood Top was extracted from the center of the log where dark brown mud had penetrated and stained every fiber in what I consider one of the best sets of Sinker Redwood I have ever seen. The easy, low action at just 3.8mm at fret 12 will eliminate all types of strain from the left hand thanks also to the slim neck, the radiused action and the 640mm fret spacing. Masterpiece instrument ! S.D.G.
