All Koa wood, The VERY thin neck was probably made by Bruce Becvar(who still makes guitars in Hawaii). The guitar was made while Rick Turner,Doug Irwin,Bruce Becvar,and Hobart Giacopetti(sp?) were the builders.     (Message edited by davehouck on May 09, 2006) | ||

Unique (and beautiful) guitar you've got there, Douglas! Very unusual headstock. | ||

That headstock was fairly typical for guitars at the time. Also typical is the more figured wood on the back. That's a sweet piece of Koa there. | ||

The info on the neck comes from Rick Turner who related that they were always ribbing Bruce for his extremely thin necks. |
