Yes I'd say I really lucked out on this one . It's light as a feather . Has that old time Hawaii sound too .
I'll be using it in my recordings with my 000 resonator , dreadnought and 000 nylon guitar soon .
- The resonator is mahogany ( more than likely from the Philippines )
- The Kamama Hawaiian Koa ( a type of mahogany )
- The single cutaway dreadnought is Madagascar rosewood
- The nylon single cutaway is cocobolo ( another type of rosewood )
My electric's body&neck are solid Honduran mahogany w/a maple top .
Never dreamed I'd own such nice musical instruments , I am so happy with this collection .
I'm going to enjoy the contrasting sounds these instruments make together along with acoustic harmonica ( both diatonic and chromatic ) , tomorrow I expect a visit from Mr. UPS
Except for the nylon , all the others were gifts from my late wife to me .
They are each really fine playing and sounding instruments . I can't help but think of her with them around , she loved to hear them when I'd practice and or serenade her .
