Hewett D Brazilian Rosewood Guitar (used, 2006)-SOLD
This is the One, folks. Actual, old growth Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with green, orange, black, gold, cinnamon, brown; just all the RIGHT colors you want to see in the best grade Brazilian.
The top is a 100 year old German spruce.
Handsome snakewood bindings on the body & fretboard.
Fossilized ivory nut & saddle.
Fossilized Ivory bridge pins
The top has a cool, arrow marquetry surrounding it.
Attractive Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and the bridge, rosette, truss rod cover & heel cap are Brazilian as well.
The rosette has Abalone inner & outer rings, very tasteful.
Abalone back center strip, as well.
The fingerboard has purfling lines outlining it, a nice touch.
Book matched Brazilian rosewood headstock faceplate.
Chrome Gotoh Delta series tuning machines with ebonoid buttons.
Oh yeah, Jim made the pick guard out of Brazilian rosewood too!
The back & sides are flitch cut with the flame matching and the pick guard and headstock faceplate are matching pieces.
I have to tell you, we've never heard another guitar that sounds like a Hewett. Somehow they sound huge, but with an unexpected clarity. No muddiness here, and the bass is as big as you can imagine.
