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"

Rosewood bridge pins, Greven Pickguard & Brass strap button
Fingerboard/Ziricote wood with understated pearl inlays (snowflake & Diamond) . The finger board is a raised fingerboard for a little better access to the upper frets. The nut & saddle is fashioned from 10,000 year old
