An amazing 12th Fret Slope Shoulder Dreadnought in a Sunburst finish. Learning the meticulous craft of violin building from his Father, Jimmy Edmonds has been making beautiful guitars in Galax, Virginia since the early 2000s. Here we have something truly special with an amalgamation of two storied tone woods, Moon Spruce and Sinker Mahogany. 

Moon spruce - as the story goes is spruce that is grown at higher altitudes and harvested at a particular time in the lunar cycle, when the sap is inactive. It is then felled and left to air dry.  Sinker is old growth Mahogany that was cut between 1880 - 1920. The trees were then taxied down rivers to awaiting ships, but not all of them made it, some of them sunk. Some of these sunken trees have been resurfaced and luthiers have been salivating at the prospect of building with them. 

We like Jimmy's thinking in creating such a decorative guitar out of these rare woods and the gorgeous abalone tree of life inlay up the ebony neck looks superior, as does the use of gold Evo fret wire. The pyramid style bridge, slotted headstock and 12th fret body join take this into vintage territory and the engraved Waverly tuners will have your smoothly tuning in style. 

This is a guitar that you can feel as you play it, with a rich low end that transfers through the guitar and into your body. Set up beautifully by Jimmy himself and available at our Victoria Park Market showroom.
