From the bench of Rick Micheletti, this 2015 Kestrel—decked out in Sinker Redwood and Brazilian Rosewood—lives up to its name. Named after one of the quickest birds of prey, it makes perfect sense for this turquoise-framed axe. Powerful, full, and quick to respond.
As aesthetically pleasing as a guitar can be, you might expect the sound to be a step behind—but not here. In true Redwood fashion, after just a few minutes of playing, this guitar begins to growl. Not that it’s lacking in character from the start—it’s anything but. These two tonewoods work together in magical ways. Get this beauty while you can.

This guitar isn’t just visually striking—it has a voice that grabs you right away. The turquoise detailing adds a beautiful artistic touch, but it’s the tonewood pairing that really sets it apart. There’s a depth and character here that feels unique, a sound all its own. A perfect addition for any player looking to expand their sonic palette 
Sweet, chocolatey goodness. Rick brings all the richness and overtone density of Redwood and Brazilian Rosewood to bear with this build, giving expansive depth across the registers that I find particularly engrossing and enveloping. This is one of the guitars that seems to wrap the player up in a warm cloud. 1 in stock
