Sequoia Guitar

This is a unique solidbody guitar made from reclaimed old growth giant sequoia wood (sequoia giganteum). After putting a considerable amount of planning into the design of this guitar, it has exceeded my expectations in tone and feel. It is truly a pleasure to play and hear. It has a nice warm sound but can maintain the high end frequencies nicely. Upon playing the prototype for the first time, I realized that I needed to direct my time and effort into building more of these.

Guitar Specifications:

• One piece giant sequoia solid body with a large 16″ lower bout.
• Genuine mahogany neck with carbon fiber reinforcement.
• Ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets and a 12″ radius.
• 24 3/4″ scale length.
• Custom hand-wound P90 pickups.
• Hand-built Blaster preamp/booster. Switchable on/bypass allows the guitar to be played with or without the boost. There is an internal gain trim pot.
• Gotoh tuners (18:1 gear ratio).
• Hand rubbed oil finish.
• Nut width: 1 11/16″.
• Weight: ~7 to 8 pounds (with Bigsby).

The sequoia tree is the largest tree in the world in both width and volume and can live to be over 3000 years old. I only use sequoia wood that is reclaimed or salvaged responsibly. It is a pleasure to repurpose this beautiful and historical wood and give it another life in my guitars.
