Red Spruce Tenor
This is an interesting instrument in that
the top is one piece of Adirondack
Spruce (Red Spruce). This wood is
highly prized by guitar builders, but it is
unusual to find an ukulele built with it. I
think part of the reason for this is that it
is expensive and, of course, it's not a
native Hawaiian wood.
The back and sides are curly koa that
have a rich, dark color and nice grain
pattern. The neck is old Honduran
Mahogany that has been reinforced
with a carbon fiber truss rod and joined
to the body at the fourteenth fret.
There are 19 frets total.The "R" and
the fret markers, as well as the side
markers have all been in layed in
