American Black Walnut, Figured

From the estate of Erica Heligers.

Guitar in the photo was made from the same American Black Walnut tree billet as the backs and sides listed below.  Two sets left!

This GM03 custom built by David Freeman for Selina Heligers-Hare, daughter of Erica Heligers.  Selina is a musician out of Whitehorse.  You can see and listen to Selina playing this guitar at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-uA2or6jWw.  Learn more about Selina and her band Hendrika here:  https://www.hendrikamusic.com/.

This walnut has been air-dried, which, compared to kiln dried wood, gives great colour variation as found in the back and sides sets below.
