New model: Ice Age Jazz

Ice Age Jazz is a guitar made entirely from Ancient Kauri wood. Ancient Kauri is the oldest Swamp Kauri found in New Zealand and is the oldest workable wood in the world.
New Zealand native Kauri trees (Agathis australis) that fell thousands of years ago are known as Ancient Kauri. The trees have been buried and preserved underground in swamps for more than 45,000 years.
The guitar has detail parts of mammoth ivory; the inset in the tailpiece, bridge saddle, nut and truss rod cover are made in mammoth ivory, aged 10.000+ years old.

So now it is possible to play Cool Jazz from the Ice Age !

Learn much more about the guitar and Ancient Kauri
