This concert has features that I thought might be appreciated here. It’s a design in which the same wood makes up the neck and sides. In this case, the walnut used for the side and neck has severe 90 degree runout, and it goes from straight grain into the runout, then into some pretty intense burl. The straight grain is perfect for the neck, and the burl sides match the back in a way that makes it appear that the side grain continues into the back all the way to the seam. Other features are the inside out purfling that also shows in the sound ports, and a new 2-piece bridge. The overall result is very stiff lightweight construction with unusual design features and some unique wood usage.
