This guitar was built for a guitar show. Show guitars are "show off" guitars and I knew I wanted to do something different. I was interested in trying a special wood but wanted to avoid a tropical hardwood. I had some beautiful, very curly, Black Walnut that I wanted to experiment with. I also had a jigsaw puzzle rosette that had been an idea for a few years that I chose to use on this guitar (with a matching bridge and butt decoration). I matched it all with a wonderful Cedar top.
