Instruments Hardwood Laminates
for the Stick, Grand Stick, Stick Bass, Ten String Grand, Stick Guitar and Alto Stick models
Our various Stick models are available in rigid, medium lightweight,
laminated tropical hardwoods, including the deep yellow tarara (also
known as canary wood) with red and purple grain features, and the
brilliant red-orange padauk (pronounced "pah-DOOK").
Our dark Indonesian rosewood laminates are a bit heavier. Choice of hardwoods has no discernable effect on tone, as the strings are at a lower tension for light tapping "action", thus there is very little interaction of the vibrating strings with the neck/fretboard structure.
Our newest offering is chechen, a South American brown hardwood with tight grain and
All our hardwoods are grown under sustained harvest plans as renewable resources.
