Myrtle & Redwood SF3 Lightweight Guitar


Posted on January 29, 2007 by Scott French

"This SF3 represents a big transition with the design of the headstock and heel being refinfed quite a bit. It was also a really light one thanks to the chambered redwood body and myrtle top. The redwood came from a thrift shop table and the myrtle from a Pacific Northwest road trip."
