I have three Pono instruments. IMHO better than Eastman build quality. They don't stain their mahogany. Necks are similar to Martin MLO profile.

Do you know the string spacing? Saw the nut width but didn't see the measurement elsewhere in the thread. Thanks!

I'm not certain how to measure spacing, but here are pictures across the neck at nut and 12th fret, and also at the saddle.
Played the guitar for half an hour; renewed appreciation for its playability and sound.

Bump up a great little pristine Pono. Humidified and non-smoking house.

What tonal difference do you find between Sitka and Cedar?

24.7" is the scale length.

Saddle spacing is measured E to e on center at the bridge pins. Kind of hard to tell from the picture as your ruler is set up at the end of the saddle itself.

I'm sure others can pitch in on this with perhaps more authority.
Cedar is very responsive - a light touch makes it sing. It can be played fairly hard without breaking up, but does not have the headroom that spruces have in general. My Martin 000-18 has a Sitka top, and it wants to be pushed a bit to get sound out. That's not tonal difference, though, but rather behavior based on the characteristics of the wood. In general, cedar is more mellow, round, warm than Spruce, where Spruce has more brilliance and clarity. That said, this particular guitar does not particularly lack brightness, though it does present with a full and warm sound. I hope that helps!
