Ed Claxton Concert Brazilian/Sinker Redwood From book Guitars, by David Schiller at Dream Guitars
This is one of the best sounding and playing classicals I’ve seen come through the shop and it’s gorgeous too. What a strikingly beautiful guitar, the woods are astonishing. First and foremost we have one of the most dramatic sets of Brazilian you’ll ever find, dark and rich, with an amazingly dramatic center section on the back. The top is extremely rare Sinker Redwood, which we have heard on numerous guitars now and I’m here to tell you there is something special about it. It has the warmth and depth of Redwood but with much more power, clarity and articulation than most Redwood offers. These tonewoods together with Ed Claxton’s tastefully simple appointments and superb detail make this a guitar to treasure. – http://www.dreamguitars.com/products/claxton/claxton_classical_148/claxton_classical_148.php
