Default Guitar Backs

Micheletti Osprey - Claro Walnut
There has been some discussion about tone vs. looks, but, this one, this one has the backside and the tone to match.
backs - 2.jpg

Martin MC-DSM - Koa
This guitar is no slouch in the tone dept either.

And a Joel Stehr Tiger Myrtle with an ultra fancy headstock backside

Latest entry: Taylor K14c


Silent satin finish. 2-piece Koa back. Kinda wish it was in gloss just for aesthetics, but Taylor's silent satin finish feels really good to play on, especially for the topwood.
