New Koa Tenor

Missed my weekly update so here is a midweek showing of a new Koa Tenor.  I’m using a new urethane finish and it has a little tint like lacquer.  The instrument is all Koa.  I have used curly maple binding to accent and have a koa/curly maple/koa neck to match.  Accents are curly maple as well.  Macassar ebony neck and bridge.   Strings are PHD low”G”.    Gotoh  UPT 4:1 tuners.  This particular wood  is fairly low density so the sound is big and warm. I think the  petroglyph back strip goes well on the sap wood center.  Not taken yet!OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
