The Rose of Sharon is a small guitar made specifically for a woman. It is our FS body but  thinner front to back and usually has a narrower neck. The guitar is light as a feather because of the light weight woods used. The top is Redwood and the back and sides are figured Claro Walnut. These striking woods are all trimmed with one of the rarest woods on the planet: Pink Ivory from Africa. This wood is very hard and naturally pink. Legend has it that only the chief of the tribe could posses this wood and anyone else caught with it would be killed.
