Fairbanks F-20 "Salvage" Natural - Sinker Sitka Spruce/Old Growth Mahogany
Our first Fairbanks guitar! This is the F-20 model, from the 2026 "Salvage" series. The Sitka spruce was salvaged from submerged salmon traps in Alaska, and the Mahogany used for the body is old growth. This combination makes for a feather-light (3 lbs, 1 oz!) guitar with tons of clarity and sweetness. It in no way plays or sounds like a brand new guitar, but rather one with years of playing in - such a pleasure! This makes for a wonderful introduction to Dale Fairbanks' line of top quality guitars for our shop! Here is Fairbanks' description: " Featuring salvaged Sitka and old growth Mahogany, voiced for fingerstyle and delicate playing. Clear top end, defined notes inside a chord, and a midrange that holds its place under a vocal without crowding it."
