A first ever from Santa Cruz- an H13 body with 3000 Year Old recovered Ancient Alaskan Sitka Spruce with Abalone 42 style top border paired with African Blackwood back and sides. Complete with Snakewood century block fretboard inlay with Abalone dots, Snakewood pyramid bridge, overlay and bindings. A stunning masterpiece of musical art.

The greyish/ green color of the Ancient Spruce top is the actual natural color. This was unearthed on an island of Alaska and was buried in a landslide over 3000 years ago. Over the 3 millenia the color has changed to the ghostly hue it is now. That is not a stain- it’s the actual color of the wood. The tree was estimated to be 1000 years old when it fell. Due to the capsulizing of the tree, it did not rot but aged over that time. The fact is was retrieved and in workable condition and then quarter sawn to make an amazing guitar is an extraordinary feat for this piece of wood.
