2011 Laurie Williams Classical, Ancient Kauri/Paraoanui

[pheumiller]

New Zealand’s Laurie Williams utilizes gorgeous and unique tonewoods from his native land to build exquisite modern instruments like this Classical from 2011. The top is Sinker Paraoanui, specifically from a log uncovered by a flood near Laurie’s shop which he believes is nearly 100 years old; the body is a set of Ancient Kauri harvested from peat swamps in New Zealand’s North Island estimated to be between 3,000 and 45,000 years old! The neck is salvaged Totara, another NZ domestic.
This Classical comes with a bevy of modern innovations for playability: Ryan-style arm bevel plus venetian cutaway, EVO frets, and a gently radiused fretboard to boot.

"This is a wonderful nylon string guitar bringing modern advancements to the Classical sound. Built with rare local woods from New Zealand, Laurie Williams has created a wonderful, inspiring guitar here." - Paul Heumiller
