My assistant Tom Ziegenspeck just completed the finish and set-up on these two tenors - construction and voicing is currently my department... Although the tonal differences are quite subtle the sound is very distinctly koa. The first is koa from Maui and the second, koa from the Big Island. The first has a 3A+ curl while the second is very plain. The bracing patterns on each are similar but the first has an advanced soundhole and one fret shorter fingerboard. Both project very well and have lots of volume... You make up your own minds.
