I have currently got a KoAloha KTM-00 but have got itchy fingers for a bespoke one.
So far the specification I am thinking about is...
Macassar ebony back and sides
Cedar top, (but open to spruce)
Slotted headstock, (but open to paddle with planetary geared tuners)
Ebony fretboard and bridge, (open to either tie or pin)
Fretboard bound with maple
Ebony faceplate on the headstock
Maple binding
Pickup, (totally open here, suggestions would be most welcome)
(And I know this is almost a copy of the Pono ETSH5, but they are few and far between, especially in the UK).
So, any comments would be most welcome as this is going to be a once in a lifetime thing.
