Un extrait:
The body of the guitar has been assembled and aging in Jim's shop for the last five years. The Brazilian back & sides come from a reclaimed trunk that was left "in situ" when the upper part of the tree was cut over 90 years ago. It was standard procedure before the days of modern power tools to leave up to five or six feet of the trunk. This wood was extracted in the late 1980s. In the mid 1990s while visiting Brazil, I observed this labor intensive process, wherein the stump is excavated by shovel to save as much of the stump as possible. It was then pulled out by a bulldozer.
The red spruce top has its own story. According to Jim, this wood came from a 500-year-old tree that was cut and quartered in the late 1980s. It grew on the highest mountain in West Virginia at an elevation of 4862 feet--a location that's been appropriately named Spruce Knob! The extremely slow growth of this tree is manifested in the minute growth lines.
Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais moi cela me rapelle quelque chose... Pas super
Ce n'est pas ce que j'aime habituellement mais cela ne laisse pas indifférent...
