If it looks deep ,..its because it is . 4 3/4 " at the tail . This guitar has everything a serious players heart would desire . This is the deepest guitar I have ever built and I will be doing more . Sorry for the jumbo picks ,.....I can build guitars ,..but Im lucky to even log in on a computer. |

WOO-HOO ! ! ! ! ! ! That's gorgeous ! Beautiful workmanship...great wood. It all came together in this one didn't it? The one regret I have about my first (and only) reso is that I didn't make it deeper. Fantastic reso... |

Hesh This wood came from a private source on the Island . I am a true lover of Koa ,. It is my favorite wood to build squarenecks with. Koa makes a killer square neck ,..best tonal qualities that Ive found ,..with Big leaf Maple a close second. JD Myers |

That's really sweet JD! I built a very deep baritone resonator (National-style) and the depth sure seems to add a lot of extra reverb and fullness to the tone, is that what you found? Also is it traditional or baffle/post constructio |

It does add a ton of depth ,...these lrg bodies really shine when you drop tune to D ,.....And yes post and baffle . I had three prospective buyers play this guitar,...all three ordered on the spot . A walnut and two koas . If you buildem they will come ,....that is if they sound like the cannons on a pirate ship ! |
