Premium Quilted Sapele

C-N-P-2007-011

Our premium quilted sapele comes from a vendor out west. They import these logs and cut them into billets for luthiers. These make an incredible guitar in both looks and sound.

Premium Curly Koa

C-N-P-2007-008

Our culy koa comes from a vendor on the Big Island in Hawaii - the ONLY source for true Koa. Shown here with curly Maple binding.

Koa with Curly Maple Binding

We make our own binding from premium woods. You can see the color and curl in both the Koa and the Maple.

This example does not even have the finish sprayed on it yet!

Premium Bear Claw Sitka

The Bear Claw we use comes from Alaska. The vendor specializes in high quality sitka - both figured and non-figured. They provide a great tone and an amazing look.

Curly Mango with Curly Koa Binding

The Curly Mango comes directly from Hawaii as does the Curly Koa used for the bindings. As you can tell, the coloration on the Mango provides a truely unique - one of a kind guitar!

This has a nitrocellulose finish. See the shine.
