CUSTOM GSCE, 12-String, Secret Amazon Rosewood Set #9--Amazon Rosewood is VERY rare!! Many guitar builders and many players feel that.

It is soooo comfortable to play, up and down the neck, and the Progressive Diamond markers on the fingerboard fairly encourage chordal exploration--far up the neck!! The rich, clear spectrum of sounds from this lovely Amazon Rosewood is hugely magnified by its very high-quality Engelmann Spruce top.

Do you love a mystery?!? Do you love discovering a "treasure"?!? In Bob Taylor's personal collection of wood were four sets of gorgeous "Unknown Rosewood" from South America. Could these be Morado?
