    Default Kelley A5 100 yr old red spruce

    Here’s the latest Kelley A5. I used some 100 year old red spruce ( thanks Ken!) and hard northeastern maple back, sides and neck. This one has a big sound already. Thanks for looking!

    Skip, That is one fine looking A model !! Sounds great Too!! Somebody is going to be very happy owning that one. I have not tried any of Kens red spruce but I am building the first "JUNE" redwood (from Ken) topped F5 for IBMA. Are you going this year?
