The material used in building the body of this special guitar is the 40,000 year-old ecologically friendly Ancient Kauri wood, which was imported from New Zealand, by a company in Minnesota, U.S.A. called Ancientwood Ltd. This special piece of wood came with a Certificate of Authenticity and delivers superior tone and sustain. I carefully considered the style of instrument I should build from this wood as well as the pickups I should choose. The end result - wow! I was completely blown away.
