Pomahina Guitar - 'DeLuxe' New pix added
Wanted to share my recently arrived Pomahina guitar. Made by Dennis Lake on the Big Island of Hawaii (he is now in San Diego, CA)
Probably the overall best guitar for flat and finger picking I have had the fortune to own. Comfortable, well appointed and soooo easy to play. From Dennis web site: Mark Nelson Deluxe Model This is a copy of the guitar made for Mark Nelson, an extraordinarily talented musician, teacher and author of many instrumental instruction books. While this is not a copy of any particular guitar, it calls to mind the wonderful guitars made in Chicago in the 1930's and is especially well suited to any fingerpicking style, including Slack Key and old time flatpicking. It is essentially a special Size 6, with much different bracing, 12 fret neck, 25" scale, rosewood fingerboard with large pearl inlay and a raised finger rest. "Deluxe" is inlaid into the peg head. Mark's is made of Flamed Maple, but Honduran Mahogany or Rosewood may be substituted at no extra cost. Adirondack Spruce is standard for the top. Enjoy the pix.....

Dude, fix you hosting I'd like to see this!
 I had a Dennis Lake Po Mahina CBU built on the same solid cedar cigar box that Sam Kamaka made his out of, it was a nice copy and a lot of fun to play, got it off Shawn Yacavone waaaay back. I'd love to look him up next time I'm down SD way and see what he has in stock if he is still building.

Another victim of the photobucket attack on their own clients.
