This Zimnicki Koa Dreadnought is a striking example of luthier Gary Zimnicki’s meticulous craftsmanship. Building guitars entirely by hand since the 1970s, Zimnicki works solo, dedicating an extraordinary level of care and precision to each instrument he creates. This particular guitar features a premium Adirondack spruce top paired with stunning, highly figured koa back and sides, supported by a Honduran mahogany neck. The scalloped X-bracing—crafted from Adirondack spruce and joined with traditional hide glue—offers excellent resonance and structural integrity. Richly adorned with abalone shell, the guitar also boasts an ebony fretboard and bridge, and fossil mammoth ivory for both the nut and saddle. Finished in a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, this instrument is as visually captivating as it is sonically powerful. Comes with HC
