This one is made of koa and spruce with figured maple bindings. Went thin on the top so sound is loud and lively.

Steve, they are mini Gotohs. They are on the heavy side so I'll be trying out
some open gear Gotohs on my next one. They are considerably lighter.
Thanks all for looking and your comments!
