Default NGD - McKnight Mac-naught, Cedar & Cocobola

So much for "never buying a drednaught ever again". .

This is Alaskan Yellow Cedar top and I love the sound. It is completely different tone than any of the spruce tops I have. I bettet understand the term "overtones" and this does not have so much of them!

It is also brings some "eye candy" to my collection; not that I was focused on appearance, because it was all about the sound.

Tim and Mary McKnight are a delightful pair of enablers!

I've long admired Tim's guitars. You've got yourself a beauty. Congratulations! And you're right, never say never. Enjoy.

Btw, what is the fretboard wood?

Congrats, Amy! That's a super nice guitar! I also love the fret board choice, the position markers, and the headstock. Wow.
