This Froggy Bottom 40th Anniversary H-12 is the most perfect, most beautiful guitar we has ever had at Maple Leaf Music. Let’s start with the basics. The wood is Michael’s old Martin-style straight-grained Brazilian rosewood with a Brazilian-overlayed slot peg-head. The top is first grade red Adirondack spruce. The fingerboard is inlayed with pearl engraved by master engraver Glenn Carson (for more stunning examples of his work please visit Will Fielding’s web site at http:www.fieldingbanjos.com/inlays.html). The Froggy Bottom frog in the peg-head is also engraved in a 19th century Fairbanks/Consalvi style of engraving. The autumn leaves on the heel-cap are engraved and colored by Petria Mitchell. Basically this is one classy guitar, stylistically elegant, whole and complete. The sound is magnificent and will only get better; a finger-picker’s dream. This guitar is one of 12 40th Anniversary models that will be produced this year by Michael Millard and his crew; only 6 were being offered to stores and as far as we know this is the only H-12 40th Anniversary for sale.
