This is one of my standard/classic designs and it doesn’t disappoint. Sitka Spruce is very strong but lightweight, which makes for a loud and responsive instrument. The Spruce top is from my dulcimer maker’s stash, cut in the 1960’s for a dulcimer maker who never used it. The Oregon Walnut back and sides is local, from The Dee Mill and is the same board that I used for all of Dave Matthew’s ukuleles. The neck is some Spruce from Craig Wilson’s shop, too small to be one of his guitars, but good for this project. The subtle but colorful Pistachio is perfect for the fretboard and headplate, salvaged from California orchards.
