Simon says: The sassafras custom is commissioned for my wife. I am looking for a small intimate guitar that can be played in living room or a sofa. For the aesthetic the approach is to go for the understated beauty of the wood..black heart sassfras (my wife's favourite wood) back and side, flamed Tasmanian black for neck and creamy Englement spruce top. An abalone butterfly on the headstock finishes off the cosmetic aspect of this guitar. For tone i expect a sweet balanced sound with rounded bass. As usual I expect the usual Freeman playability. I look forward to the completion of this guitar"
