ABOUT THE GUITAR:
This Blueberry “Peacock Songwriter” Concert is a one-of-a-kind, custom built by luthier “I Wayan Tuges,” a master woodcarver in Bali. Growing up in Guwang, a community known for the skill and deep spirituality of its woodcarvers, he began carving at the age of five learning from his father, one of the great Balinese woodcarvers.
Blueberry Guitars are instruments of delicate precision. Because they are not mass-produced, they can afford to be finely braced for optimal performance. They are therefore noticeably richer in harmony, greater in sensitivity, more dynamic in range and possess superior sounds.

THE BACKSTORY:
"I bought this when in Bali in 2015 and Wayan personally changed the strings then asked me to play and I was blown away as it features what he calls a songwriter’s sound hole at the top which offers an amazing sound to the player as well as the listener."
