The John Walker "Wise River" is a masterfully crafted acoustic guitar that embodies vintage inspiration with modern precision. Its stunning sunburst finish highlights the warm, rich tones of its carefully selected tonewoods, making it as visually captivating as it is sonically powerful.

At the heart of this instrument lies a premium red spruce top, paired with red spruce bracing to enhance resonance and projection. A hard maple rift-sawn bridge plate ensures durability and tonal clarity. The back and sides are made from high-quality mahogany, contributing to the guitar's warm, balanced sound. Complementing its elegant body, the Wise River features either ivoroid or tortoise body binding, adding a refined aesthetic touch. With a generous body width of 16 inches, this guitar delivers a full and dynamic voice, ideal for both fingerstyle playing and flatpicking.

The neck is carved from mahogany, offering a comfortable feel with a scale length of 24-3/4 inches and a nut width of 1-3/4 inches, making it suitable for a variety of playing styles. The ebony fingerboard is adorned with classic mother-of-pearl dot inlays, while the peghead bears a mother-of-pearl John Walker logo, reinforcing the guitar’s attention to fine details.

Further enhancing its playability and aesthetics, the Wise River features an ebony bridge, bridge pins, and end pin, all contributing to its sleek, cohesive design. Nickel Waverly tuners with ivoroid button keys provide precise tuning stability, and the unbleached bone nut and saddle ensure optimal string vibration and sustain.

The guitar is finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the wood to breathe and age gracefully while enhancing the depth of the sunburst color. To protect this exquisite instrument, it comes with a high-quality hardshell case.

With its superior craftsmanship, rich tonal depth, and vintage-inspired design, the John Walker "Wise River" in Sunburst is a remarkable instrument for discerning musicians who seek both beauty and performance in their guitar.
