I'll provide a more in depth review and photos at a later time, but my first impressions are quite positive. The overall quality of the sound, build and craftmanship have exceeded my expectations.
The finish is a flawless 'open pore' gloss with the grain pattern you'd expect from traditional Hawiian koa. The frets are well dressed and the intonation is spot on. I was skeptical about a rosewood saddle but the tone is clear and balanced.
I know this is a bit of blasphemy, but it compares very favorablely with my mid-70s Kamaka soprano in overall looks and sound.
