Ancient Kauri wood is one of the most rare tonewoods we have and a single log of it was found in 1998 with an intense figuring that resembles a school of Whitebait fish swimming beneath the water. Laurie Williams reserves the handful of sets he has of this Ancient ‘Williams Whitebait’ wood for his finest guitars. There are only a few guitars of this quality in the entire world and this is one of them. The back and sides are simply mesmerizing and the headstock and backplate also feature Whitebait. The top is modern milled Kauri and the entire guitar is bound in Cocobolo Rosewood with very fine lines of Abalone giving it a sophisticated shimmer. Laurie’s current price for a true ‘Williams Whitebait’ is $35,000 and he increases the price $5,000 with each one he makes so these are wonderfully collectible guitars as well as superb playing instruments
Attention collector's, this is one of the very rarest guitars on the planet. Laurie has told me he has just a handful of sets of his true 'Williams Whitebait' Ancient Kauri wood for the rest of his building career. Aside from being absolutely gorgeous in every way, this guitar plays beautifully and the sound is crystal clear and pure with solid bass and shimmering highs. This one is pristine and offering well below the cost of a new one. This may well outperform the stock market for those of you unsure of where to put your money these days...
