The Story
Brothers Greg & Chris Williams (from the Haida Gwaii Islands in British Columbia) went to work at the Larrivee factory in Vancouver in 1998. They hung around with fellow luthiers Mark Vantaa and Robert Bustos and came up the idea to make guitars from a legendary tree on Haida Gwaii (known as the Golden Spruce to the native Haida people) felled in 1997. This tree had a unique genetic mutation which gave it golden colored needles.

Although they secured the agreement of most of the Haida council it was decided to leave the tree where it lay so it could return to the earth. Despite this set-back the group persevered with building acoustic guitars incorporating native Haida art - eventually making around 70 in total. The Williams brothers left around 2002 and Vanataa and Bustos carried on as Paragon guitars.

Specs
It is a custom made/one-of-a kind jumbo sized acoustic guitar with solid spruce top, quilted maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, mahogany nec, black body binding. It is mint condition and comes in a deluxe arch-top hard shell case.

Features
It features hand carved sterling silver Haida Gwaii story of the 'Raven And The Woman On The Moon' logo on the peghead, hand carved sterling silver killer whale inlay on the fretboard, and a pair of hand carved sterling silver inlays on each wing of the traditional Haida Gwaii war canoe shaped bridge.
