The Froggy Bottom Model C Limited in Dark Forest Ancient Cypress and Brazilian Rosewood marks a beautiful first in the builder’s history. Created through a collaboration between Froggy Bottom Guitars, Dark Forest Ancient Cypress, and Eddie’s Guitars, this is the very first Froggy Bottom built with a cypress soundboard. Its graceful proportions bring extraordinary materials close to the player, placing nearly four thousand years of natural history beneath the fingertips.
Carbon dated at 3,758 years old, the Dark Forest Ancient Cypress top carries a story that began long before the acoustic guitar took its familiar shape. Recovered from submerged timber preserved in the waterways of the Carolinas, this remarkable wood has found a new purpose through the care of those who recognized its musical potential. Fine grain lines travel across its surface in shades of muted gold, weathered bronze, and soft olive brown. Beneath the clear high gloss finish, those subtle variations give the soundboard a depth and presence that reward quiet observation.
The master grade 5A Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are equally captivating. Dark, flowing grain moves through rich chocolate and amber hues, opening into dramatic, mirrored patterns across the back. A slender abalone backstrip traces the center seam, emphasizing the symmetry of wood whose intricate figure seems to shift with the light. Brazilian Rosewood’s celebrated harmonic richness makes it an especially compelling partner for this ancient soundboard. Within the Model C’s responsive concert body, the pairing promises warmth, depth, and a generous bloom of overtones, an inviting palette for expressive fingerstyle arrangements and singing melody lines.
Curly koa binding follows the body’s rounded shoulders and gently drawn waist, its warm color beautifully complementing both tonewoods. Abalone top purfling and a matching rosette introduce flashes of blue, green, and silver around the cypress, while the imitation tortoise pickguard adds a deep, mottled accent beside the soundhole. The effect is richly detailed, with each material contributing its own color and texture to the whole.
Glenn Carson’s engraving brings another layer of artistry to the instrument. His engraved #3 mother of pearl fleur de lis inlays unfold along the ebony fingerboard, their delicate lines and shaded flourishes revealing remarkable detail at close range. The bound solid headstock carries a 5A Brazilian Rosewood veneer and Carson’s engraved mother of pearl frog logo, giving Froggy Bottom’s familiar signature an especially elegant expression. Titanium Waverly tuning machines with a high 21:1 ratio provide precise adjustment.
At just 3 lb 9 oz, this Model C is wonderfully light and inviting to hold. Its 12 fret neck joint and 24 3/4" scale length create an intimate playing experience, while the 1 3/4" nut width and 2 5/16" bridge spacing provide generous room for articulate fingerwork. A 20" fingerboard radius offers a gently curved playing surface, and the one inch ebony pyramid bridge lends a beautifully traditional outline to the lower bout. Ebony bridge and end pins with paua dots carry the instrument’s subtle iridescence into its smallest appointments.
Accompanied by a TKL American Vintage case, this first cypress topped Froggy Bottom holds a special place in the shared story of three collaborators. Ancient wood, extraordinary Brazilian Rosewood, and intricate hand engraving come together in a guitar built on a deeply human scale, comfortable in the arms and full of possibilities for the music still to come.
