This wonderful guitar, hand-crafted in Wartrace, Tennessee, features Premium East Indian Rosewood on the back and sides, and exquisite Sitka Spruce on the top.

This treasure is finished out, using hand-cut abalone for the snowflake fingerboard inlays, and mother-of-pearl for the Bellflower headstock inlay. Gold plated Schaller tuning machines decorate the headstock, and a bone nut and saddle are individually cut to enhance the powerful and resonant sound!

The story of The Tree began almost 50 years ago, when a group of loggers deep in the Chiquibul Jungle of Honduras, now Belize, discovered a giant ancient Mahogany Tree, 100 feet tall, with a 10-foot base and spiraled bark that gave a hint of its intense figuring.The Tree’s figuring is very dramatic! One pattern resembles a tortoise shell, its triangular shapes having dark veiny outlines. Another is often referred to as a sausage quilt, as its wide horizontal patterns bear a resemblance to links of that product, with rolling vertical lines that look like long, wavy tendrils.The tortoise-shell pattern is most wildly coveted by musical instrument makers and their clients.Many luthiers charge an additional $1,000.00 or more for this beautiful and rare wood!!! The bridges and endrails are crafted from highly-figured "Tiger Striped" Maple!
