No. 1120. Includes deluxe hardshell case. This gorgeous custom Hsienmo sports beautiful exotic woods, all solid of course, and exceptional build quality and design. This model is named "Linglong" in China, which translates to "small but elegant." The USA version is "S-38."

What is “Sinker Redwood”? Pre 1883 hand cut Redwood logs were floated down river to sawmills mainly in California. It is estimated that 1/2 of these timbers sank along the way or in the bay. Before the conservation laws of the mid 1990s, salvaging outfits were reclaiming the wood for sale. Now any remaining logs must remain where they lie, until out of necessity, government officials decided to deepen Humbolt Bay, and to sell the logs that they recovered. Lucky us…Lucky you!

(A fun side note: Most recovered Sinker Redwood had been resting on the bottom of waterways for 100+ years. During that time they often absorbed minerals from the silt that not only deepened the natural color of the wood, but at times added wild swirls of blue, purple, black, yellow and/or maroon!)

Santos or Bolivian Rosewood is also known as Pau Ferro and is a popular Brazilian Rosewood substitute and is thought to be about as similar in properties to rosewood as any non-Dalbergia-genus species possibly could be. Its grains are tighter than a typical rosewood specimen, and it is thought to have a more distinctly percussive taptone than that of Brazilian. It's tonal response is said to have tight lows, present mids and a clear, singing high end response.

AN AMAZING CUSTOM GUITAR!

We are mightily impressed with HsienMo's Floating Fingerboard and other neck innovations that make for a more trouble free playing experience. This is NOT another cheap Chinese guitar. These fine instruments play & sound fabulous!
