The neck is made from sustainable native North American solid cherry with nylon frets and steel strings.  Zither pins are used for the tuning keys. The body is made from sustainable native North American solid maple with a Baltic birch back. Made in the U.S.A. from sustainable native North American solid wood. Launch date: February 2011.
