  This one-of-a-kind Twenty-T is handbuilt by local Memphis luthier and musician Keith Schexnayder of 20 Guitars. This is not a parts guitar: the neck and body were carved, finished, and assembled entirely by the builder.
  The body and top are made from reclaimed old-growth timber salvaged from the French Hotel in Senatobia, MS (built 1858). The body comes from roof rafters, and the top is nearly a one-piece Douglas fir deck from the same building. This wood spent over 160 years naturally seasoned, resulting in exceptional density and resonance—it rings loudly and evenly.

Description

Details

  The neck was carved from an old-growth pine beam reclaimed from the Well Works Building in Memphis (built 1911), now part of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Despite the dense wood, the body is heavily chambered, making this guitar extremely light and very responsive.
  Finished in a thin nitrocellulose lacquer with an oiled neck, the Twenty-T has a fast, broken-in feel and a clear, articulate tone well suited for blues, country, and classic rock.
  A case is not included. Please contact us for case options.
