Cherry Dreadnought DR-16
Sinker Old Growth Redwood / American Cherry
Click here for video demos of this guitar  

This unique dreadnought has a very striking top of old growth sinker redwood. This wood is from a log that was salvaged from a Pacific Northwest river bottom after having sunk in the late 1800's. As a result of more than a century soaking in this mineral-rich water, this wood not only exhibits a beautiful deep brown-red appearance, but it also produces a wonderful sound with rich and complex overtones and bright treble frequencies reminiscent of spruce.

The guitar has back and sides of American cherry, a Katalox fingerboard (pronounced "cat-ah-losh", a dense, hard wood from Mexico that is similar to ebony), East Indian rosewood bridge, bloodwood bindings, an African ebony headplate, and a unique black granite, and birdseye maple rosette. This guitar exhibits a very balanced tonal spectrum with a rich bass, a clear mid-range, and bright treble tones.
