She's a beautiful dreadnought with an Englemann Spruce top (split from Colorado desert dryness, only adding to her character), abalone inlays, Honduran Rosewood back and sides, East African ebony fretboard and headstock veneer, gold Gotoh tuners, ivory nut and saddle (I know, but I didn't personally meet the elephants that helped make this guitar), Maple binding, and a Honduran Mahogany neck. She was made by hand in June of 1999 by a luthier named Bill Richardson who selected her materials personally.
Rosita sounds like a Martin HD-28, without even trying.
Happy birthday. Thanks Jesus.
