I LOVE IT, and just look at that exceptional polishing towel next to it. Have to say, that does add to the beauty.

This is a beautiful guitar, and I know you can’t wait to get it into your hands. I’ve been looking for a Pink Ivory back&side set ever since meeting Rebecca and seeing the one she brought to BIG II last year. That stuff is more rare than hens teeth. Congratulations to you and Rebecca both.

This is gorgeous and I’m sure it will sound amazing!

I love my Urlacher guitar- such a great guitar guitar to play with wonderful tone.

Enjoy your Urlacher! I may have to come down and crash you and Paul’s San Diego guitar party

Thanks Joel! Yes very hard to find. I got lucky to find what I did. Now that I see it in person (review coming soon) I have to say pictures don't come close to doing it justice. Oh and it sounds incredible too!

I just received it, and will post my impressions soon, but I agree that Rebecca is an exceptional luthier.

Come on down, the more the merrier!

So it's been here for a week, time for an update. I'm going to do this in 2 parts starting with photos, then hopefully a sound clip. If not, you'll just have to come to B.I.G. 2022 to hear and see in person!

First of all, pictures don't come close to doing this guitar justice. The range of color, depth, chatoyance is really amazing in person. I don't think it an exaggeration to say that this set of wood is some of the most unique and diverse in coloration of any guitar in existence! It has a very jewel like, 3d pearl essence that is mesmerizing with shades of magenta, pink, amber and platinum blonde. We decided to leave the flamey mahogany neck unstained because there are matching colors in the transition between sapwood and heartwood. Really ties the room together, haha.

Rebeccas fit and finish are perfection *chef's kiss* and the setup is comparable to PLEKd guitars I've owned. I'm totally blown away by the looks, tone and playability of the Safari Sunset(tm). I'm heading for my 3rd string change and it sounds better every day as it settles in, amazing.

Big kudos and congrats to Rebecca and you--it looks amazing! You must be stoked!

I'm really looking forward to seeing it at BIG III.

I know how hard it was for you guys to find this set of Pink Ivory. Looking at the pics, it was worth every bit of that effort and then some. Beautiful!!!!

Congrats!

I’m going on just over 2 months with my Urlacher Small Concert, and the changes in tone/responsiveness have been dramatic, even over the past couple of weeks…so the best is yet to come!

Congratulations Seth. Beautiful guitar from Rebecca. I was hoping to see it in among the guitars she brought to La Conner. I'm glad to hear that you're bringing it to share with folks at B.I.G. 2022.
