Cherry Wood

Rick Turner Cherry Creme Guitar
Cherry Wood With Creme Binding
Light as a feather       Sounds Godlike

Very few companies are making guitars with Cherry,  I think the reason is because the cost of Cherry is quite high and it does not look as flashy as some other woods out there.
Some years ago I built a Quicksilver out of Cherry, I couldn't sell it to save my life. The guitar sounded awesome and everyone who played it loved it.   Finally I sold it as a blem  to move it.  The customer wrote me a letter.

That Cherrywood  Quicksilver U sent me is exactly what I wanted.. Very understated & minimalistic. Several of my friends here locally in Duluth have Quicksilver's.  I have played theirs and fell in love.

Currently I have 2 PRS Customs a PRS Santana <bad mistake I hate it and nobody will buy it>  I also have a Terry McInturff and a Timtone Headless  <I wish I had found out about you sooner>  The Timtone is nice but it was very expensive and not worth what I bought it for. The McInturff sits in the closet with the PRS Santana. I am not fond of either of those and I have tried to sell them on Ebay and it has cost me about $100.00 from feeBay.  It's like throwing good money after bad.

The Quicksilver you sent me is a marvelous piece of machinery. I can't get over the neck,  the tone is creamy like BB King's Lucille,  I can switch to a burning Les Paul, Brown sound and best of all I can even get a funky Strat tone.  This guitar is everything U said and more, It has made me a better player and except for that bad Sperzel tuner it's been totally perfect.

I am coming to Vegas in January for CES, I want to buy another guitar I will bring both my PRS customs to trade. Don't worry they are both 24 fret models. I think I want to get one of your neck through the body models this time.

I don't need anything fancy, I just want it to sustain as well as this guitar.

Thanks for everything

Cherry Wood is nice when you don't put a finish on it

Not all Cherry has a reddish color to it.
