Tops and backs begin as quarter-sawn wedges of wood nearly 1" thick before being expertly hand-carved and contoured. Tone bars are precisely dimensioned to produce a rich, powerful tone. Features include an adjustable, compensated rosewood bridge; extended 29-fret, bound rosewood fretboard; and maple neck with adjustable truss rod. Nickel-plated hardware. Traditional mother-of-pearl peghead inlay, dot position markers, and multi-ply binding. Shop adjusted.
