It looks pretty killer.

The Redwood Proto SC was used on Trixie's new album http://www.myspace.com/tellingontrixie and as of right now there are 3 songs from it on their myspace page, Shooting In 60, Crash Me Up and ANFO...All the heavy rhythm and chuggin' guitars in ANFO were the redwood as well as the little lead lines during the song. Pretty sure it was just straight into an '81 JCM800.

Hey Lance,

I painted 3 redwood Teles for a friend/builder quite a while ago and they sounded awesome! Very,very resonant.

Agreed. Very resonant and lively. It is a warmer tone than maple but really musical.

Completely agree. IMHO Redwood makes one of the best acoustic tones available. It reminds me of Cedar on steroids.

On electrics it has the added bonus of the visual beauty of Maple, but doesn't have the strident top end or weight that Maple has. IMHO Redwood doesn't have as much of an impact on electric tone unless the guitar is chambered or hollow. It still sounds and looks great, but when I take my Redwood Huber to stage volume, the thing is absolutely insanely resonant and an absolute monster to control...in a good way, of course. LOL!!! Redwood rocks...

The Huber Redwoods are chambered...just an FYI. I also agree that they are crazy resonant!! At least I know mine is....moreso than any other guitar I own.
