Dan , I am a child of the sixties, and wanted a funky gtr to practice with while camping/travelling,The black dots are ebony and the white ones maple.Probably had too much caffeine one morning and put the dots in the wrong position
.The persimmon in Mo is mottled shades of gray with black and white streaks, I find it shrinks a lot , and is pretty unstable. I Should have let it dry at least 5 years instead of 1yr. I use it with nylon strings .Neck is 43mm at the nut action is 4mm at the 12 th fret on low E and 3mm for High E similiar to a classical gtr , but much easier and more fun to play.Yes I confess in a moment of lighheartedness went to wally world and bought krylon spray paint.
