There is only one photo on the page below that resembles what I have:

JR, I am sure that I identified it as best as I could before you picked it up. I hope you are still pleased with it. Know that I would have nothing to gain and everything to lose by misinforming you or anyone. |
Hi, Aaron! Welcome to the forum! Thank you for the info on the Partridge wood. I've updated the description of the guitar in this thread. I also thought it looked kind of mahogany-ish. (Thanks for pointing that out, Tim!) I was going by the info on the brochure when I wrote the original description. I'm very glad to own a guitar built from this unique wood. I wonder why we don't see more guitars built from Partridge wood?
