This is a basic no-frills bouzouki, designed to give the purchaser the maximum in tone and playability in a fine hand made instrument at a reasonable cost.

Construction includes all the usual features, such as a user-friendly bolt-on neck extending over the body and a modern 2-way truss rod. Bracing is simple but effective cross-struts, designed to withstand the downward pressure on the bridge. Grover mini tuners are excellent quality and also very affordable.

The body is shedua (AKA amazique, AKA ovangkol), a beautiful African wood which is an excellent tone wood. The top is Sitka spruce. With no bindings and a stamped tail piece, this is a fine utilitarian instrument with a strong and clear tone.
