Dismal Ax and the Arborea inspired 'Red Bird' guitar to benefit relief efforts in Japan

I've been working with Tennessee guitar maker George Downing 'Dismal Ax' on a guitar design and we are working on a new body design that will be revealed this year. George created the 'Red Bird' model inspired by our song 'Red Bird'. Since I've dedicated that song to the people of Japan, George is also donating a portion from the sales of each guitar to important relief efforts in Japan. George specializes in guitars made from salvaged and sustainable woods. Check out his fine creations here Dismal Ax 'Red Bird' model guitar
