This piece streaks with uniqueness. Long, dramatic ribbon-like grain runs the full length of this bookmatched/glued Central California blue gum eucalyptus top, interwoven with scattered burl eyes and rich amber-to-sienna color that deepens toward the center. Multiple resin-filled cracks trace the grain like fault lines — stabilized and sealed, they read as part of the figure rather than flaws, adding a raw geological quality that's impossible to replicate. This tree, by the way, was VERY close to the San Andreas Fault! A top with genuine personality for the guitar or bass builder who knows what they're looking at.
