This was a custom order guitar from Bill Meyer at Jack Straw Guitars. It was built in 2007. It's Bill's interpretation of the Martin 000-18 Norman Blake. The Madagascar Rosewood is from a 150 year old stash of logs found at the bottom of a river in Belize. The top is old growth Red Spruce from Ted Davis. The workmanship on the guitar is amazing. The balance bass to treble is outstanding as is the playability and intonation. It is in excellent condition. A few indentations on the lower bout that are very hard to see.
