The alder body, paired with a beautiful burl top, delivers excellent tonal range and a striking appearance.
The “Water Temple” finish features a dreamlike blue-green hue that makes a striking impression on stage.

The neck is crafted from roasted figured maple, and the fingerboard is made of ebony.
