David's Take

We are continually amazed at the beauty of the "I AM" Guitars. The combination of a sinker redwood top, which was sawn from a virgin redwood log that was sunk in Washington around 1840, and the extremely rare and beautiful Bois D' Rose back and sides make this guitar aesthetically breathtaking. Bill Wise's intricate inlay and flawless craftsmanship contribute to this being nothing short of a work of art. The sound is lush, leaning towards the warm side of the spectrum, and it has great volume. This guitar is such a joy to look at, play, and hear-- It will satisfy the most discerning player.
