Brazilian Rosewood back and sides sinker redwood top. "The dragon"

.Sinker logs like the ones above are pulled from the bottom of lakes and rivers. Most of these logs are hundreds of years old (the picture in the middle above shows that the tree was cut with an hatchet). Due to a series of factors (The logs were too big and heavy to be pulled out of the rivers or the logs were caught by currents and were sucked to the bottom) these logs were trapped by the muddy buttons of these water beds and this created like a time capsule where the wood was preserved in fantastic humidity conditions that made the wood season in a slow natural way during many centuries. Some of the logs are selected for musical instruments construction. The sound that these woods produce is unique and the grain has a beautiful coloration that matches all types of woods for the back and sides.
I matched the wood with a beautiful inlaid mother of pearl rosette, ebony bindings, a dragon inlayed fingerboard to evocate the grandeur of the woods selected. The Brazilian rosewood back and sides of the guitar had a gorgeous striping that reminded me of a reptile, very much in accordance with the dragon motif o the front.
We radiused the fingerboard to make playability EASY. A truly sensational instrument.
