This arrived at my home a few days before Christmas, 2006. I haven't yet taken any photos or written much of a review, but I will as soon as time permits. For now, visit my Flickr set of photos taken by Kelvyn Evans of Kelvyn Guitars, the dealer through which I bought the guitar and a good friend of mine.
The top is made of some special sitka spruce, dubbed "gray ghost" by the good folks at Santa Cruz Guitar Company. The back and sides are some special old growth mahogany with some really nice flaming.
It's equipped with a D-Tar Wave-Length under saddle pickup, fitted by none other than Rick Turner himself (the "T" in D-Tar). It uses some neat electronic wizardry to get 18 volts from two AA batteries. The increased voltage means more headroom which means less UST quack.
This guitar sounds incredible. That's as far as my review shall go for the moment. Watch this space for a more full review when I get the time.
