For several years I played an all Myrtle baritone as my personal instrument. The light weight, balanced tone and earth tone colors feel quite familiar. This one does not disappoint, with a simple pistachio fretboard and cedar neck, it remains understated but ready to speak up! The Pistachio is from California orchards and the Myrtle is from the Oregon coast, both from woodfromthewest.com. The Western Red Cedar neck was rescued from a barn in Hood River, OR.
