The Tree: The Four Elements - The Element Wind Archtop

Through satellite photos and computer analysis, scientists have estimated that there are approximately 400 Billion trees on the planet. Of that number, only one tree has ever been found to have this unique pattern and they call it "The Tree". When you see the pattern, you know it immediately. So distinct, beautiful and mesmerizing. Honestly, all pictures do a disservice to its beauty and energy.

This is part Healdsburg Guitar's The Four Elements and this is The Element Wind. A work of art, spirituality, mindfulness, and history. The Element Wind  has three brothers: an acoustic bass with an archtop, a dreadnaught with an archtop and electric with an archtop.  Each Element features single-piece construction with wood from The Tree. Two are carved backs, one is a flat back and the third is a carved top.  (please note Tom Ribbecke is not associated with Healdsburg Guitars)

When you think of an archtop, you may think of jazz and smooth mello sounds. This archtop is different, it was built differently, its purpose is different and it has its very own sound, a sound, and tone that has a dark and immense energy. The universe is vast and spans thousands upon thousands of light-years and most of that consists of dark matter. That is what this archtop is: Dark Matter that fills all the voids and lets you travel anywhere and everywhere in its solar winds.
