Radiused Macassar Ebony wood fretboard and bridge with ebony wood bridge pins and paua shell inlay. Paua shell position markers have been inlaid on the bound fretboard for a top down perspective.

Ebony wood veneered headstock with classy Scheurenbrand logo inlaid from paua shell. Additional side sound port for monitor-like experience. Mahogany wood neck, Jescar EVO Gold fretwire and fine-tune Waverly tuners for precise tuning and classic appeal. Nitrocellulose high-gloss finish. Incredible tone with perfect intonation.

Scheurenbrand with no compromise to the materials used and the highest regard and attention to detail . Nice balanced low end and mid range with crisp highs as well. Wonderful sustain and clarity with a mature open sound. An extremely rare piece from one of Hawaii’s finest luthiers, Rollo Scheurenbrand, this beautiful piece is a wonderful example of functional art that is both aesthetically and tonally appealing.
