I got a chance to play with an 8-string Mahogany Pono the other day and really liked it but it was my first time even holding an 8-stringer.
I'm not sure that I'm looking to buy one but I'm curious about what the options are. It seems that there are a few cheap ones out there, and then there are K brands with just the Pono in the middle. Are there any mid-ranged 8-stringers that anyone recommends?
EDIT: Is there a reason that Mahogany seems to be the primary wood for 8-stringers, or is that just Koolau/Pono?
