W.J. Jones Daemon-Sassefrax

From the talented hands of William Jeffrey Jones comes the stunning yet affordable carved work of beauty with the entire body carved from Sassafras.

In William Jeffrey Jones' words:
"This guitar is the first I've built using sassafras for an entire body. It resembles oak or white ash at a glance, but it's much, much lighter weight than oak. And it taps differently. Oak seems to absorb the noise a bit, but sassafras really resonates. It's also an extremely stable wood - almost grey-green in color - that smells like camphor or mentholyptus as you work it."

"The Daemon* design is new, too. It has all the telltale lines that make it easily recognizable as part of the WJJG pantheon with the asymmetry, offset waist, logarithmic curves and contours, but the offset of the waist and horns is just a little more pronounced for this one. The result is one comfortable, sleek and dynamic guitar."
