2024 MAXMONTE Tribal Thames Koa
MAXMONTE Tribal Thames, New, ITALY, from the Builder: " Here is a very special guitar...
I had this beautiful sinker redwood top that was given to me by a
dear friend, and I wanted to pair it with something as visually stunning,
so I went with "non black" Ebony. In a way, both these woods are
reclaimed: the redwood sat on the bottom of a river for many years
before it was turned into a soundboard. And this kind of ebony has
been discarded for many years, since only the black lumber was deemed
desirable.
The inlay glyphs are inspired by the native American and African tribal
motifs, calling back to the regions the woods came from.
And it sounds good! The redwood has a surprising attack for such a soft
wood, while the ebony does not dampen the sound as it might tend
to do. The voice is powerful and articulated, with plenty of harmonics
and a good separation, perfect for fingerstyle.Sinker Redwood.
