Compression Curly Koa Tenor by Pete Howlett: Now Sold
This instrument has accompanied me for the past 5 weeks on a research tour of the Pacific US. Fellow builders have appraised it and players wanted it.
Made from light compression curl koa this tenor has a really even blanked tone, great projection and works well picked or strummed. It has a 'shallow' body, 14 fret to the neck join with slotted headstock and our inlay in gold pearl. Beautiful nitrocellulose gloss finish and getting shinier through playing semi matt finish on the neck. List for one of these is £2250. At the current exchange rate you are looking at $2930 discounted to $2565.
Shipping is £90 insured.
