I'm calling this tenor the “The Highway” because of the white stripe going down the middle of the front.​
The tone is warm and sweet, as you would expect in a Koa tenor.
The back matches the front with a nice understated curl.
The binding and center stripe are East Indian rosewood.
The accents are Big Leaf maple burl that is really interesting.
I used Black Gotoh tuners this time.
The neck is Honduran Mahogany with a carbon fiber truss rod.
The fingerboard and bridge are East Indian rosewood. Nut and saddle are natural water buffalo bone.
As always, there is a side soundport. The sides match the top and back very nicely.
The rosette and purfling are Paua Abalone with thin black and white striping around the borders. I went with a little thicker rosette this time for a little more bling.
