000 Recycled Cedar/ Ancient Kauri
Hi,
I finished this version of "The Kauri" a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time I have combined Ancient Kauri and Cedar, and based on how it sounds, it probably wont be the last. It is very lightweight but has amazing sustain.
Specifications.
Body size: 000
Top: Recycled Cedar
Back: Ancient Kauri
Sides: Ancient Kauri
Neck: Recycled Matai
Fretboard: Recycled Puriri
Bridge: Recycled Puriri
Headplates: Ancient Kauri
Soundhole: Kauri leaves
Soundport: Kauri leaf silhouette
Rounded arm rest
Mitred Body
Bracing: Hybrid Double X Bracing
Bridge pins End: Boxwood with Paua dot
Position markers: 2mm Paua dot
Wilkinson: gold tuners
Cheers,
Christian.

Re: 000 Recycled Cedar/ Ancient Kauri
Thanks again for the kind comments guys!
I actually prefer any top now that has colour and streaks over the plain tops, for one I think it helps my offset soundhole designs.
