I am so pleased to have this one done and ready to meet the world! I started it in the fall and have been chipping away at it ever since. It has a rich and dark sound for a soprano, with a nice sustain and throaty mid-range. The Koa is a very special set that has an interesting wavy figure. Like all Koa instruments, I will be donating to plant new Koa trees through Saving Hawaii’s Forests. The neck is salvaged Cypress, the fretboard/headplate/bridge is some local Walnut and the binding is shop made Walnut and Maple. There is a K&K pickup installed, a bone nut/saddle, radiused fretboard and fluorocarbon strings.
