Model North Rim / Ziricote / Seth Model

 Just completed another Model North Rim/Seth Model
In memory of a great guy and great guitar man Seth White,,,hence forth if I build this model in Ziricote wood it will be known as the "Seth model". I started this instrument a few years back, got the body closed up, heard of Seth's passing and was stunned and just put it on the shelf for another year and a half. Then finally got with it again. Seth was very interested in this particular guitar.......

 The pictures could be better but this will have to do.....

Ziricote B/S, Sapela 5pc neck (maple cherry Sapela), Side sound/port 
Very figured Sitka Spruce top, African King Wood Bridge (rosewood)Hipshot tunersAfrican Mahagony binding, Abalone rosette, headstock veneers both sides Rosewood/Maple
The instrument is still settling in, very new and exceptional.....and by the way the guitar 
has some of Seth's ashes within. "May the force be with you"
