it`s a 12 fret dred of koa / and bearclaw sitka

I only got to see this one for a few minutes after i set it up...as my client was really chomping at the bit to take it home.
He brought it over the other night so I finally got to play it a little and take a picture or two.

these 12 fret dreds are awesome fingerstyle guitars. I play alot of 6,4 5,4 thumb stuff and i just love the responce i get from this model...in fact i crave it!

thanks for looking
Matt

I can't believe you didn't post a picture of the back!
And you know I like Koa...

Another beauty from you, Matt! I always like what you have to show, this is no exception.

I have actually had the pleasure of playing some of Matt's guitars before, so if he says it's good I can pretty much assure you all that this is a very REAL guitar, not a "GLO" to borrow a term from another current thread. In case anyone wondered.

Beautiful, Matt! You took a Martin idea and made something that doesn't look at all like a Martin. I like that!

Haven't had much time to visit lately.
But saw this thread topic last night and thought,
this one will be rewarding for sure.
Is it ever! And a 12-fret dread... wonderful.
AND, Koa to boot! Great looking guitar, Matt.
(What's got me all fired up is a customer wanting this
very combination. Now I can assure him how nice it will
look. OR...just tell him to call you...

Naaaahhh, better not!)

Thanks for the inspiration.

Steve
