I am inspired by nature in the Sacramento Valley. The bird inlays are some of the commonly seen native birds around our American River. The primary wood is black walnut, one of the most abundant trees in the American River Parkway. The color scheme for the figured maple top is intended to evoke river hues. Guitar players will recognize the classic shape of the guitar but may also appreciate the originality of the overall design. It is truly a one of a kind instrument. All guitars I make come with lifetime maintenance and adjustment to your specification. I am happy to offer this guitar for the benefit of Africa Hope Fund.
