Desert Rose
Wildrose "Pearly Gates." This is actual prototype for
Scott Zimmerman’s new model. It is made of mahogany, with
a beautiful quilted mahogany resonator. The binding on the neck
and resonator is pearloid. To describe the stunning fingerboard,
I quote an email from Scott: "The fingerboard is a full
1/8 inch thick cast acrylic resin backed by hardwood, it offers
stability over either rosewood or ebony and offers stability,
longer life and durability FAR surpassing the cheap plastic .040
inch thick drum covering offered by other makers with a pearl
type fingerboard. The fingerboard designs are hand engraved by
master engraver Wayne Holcombe." Whoever buys this will
not only get an attention-grabbing banjo, but also one with great
tone. And, of course, from a quality standpoint it doesn't get
any better than this. As a bonus, because it is a prototype it
is an instant collectible! |
