ARPF 2020 (commission only)
I've long been inspired by the American River. I built this guitar for donation to the American River Parkway Foundation for their fundraising effort. In the neck I've inlayed some of the wonderful native birds of the lower American River area in aluminum (a la the great PRS guitar). The primary wood is black walnut, one of the most abundant trees in the American River Parkway. The color scheme for the figured maple top is intended to evoke river hues. I can reproduce this guitar on commission. $3600
