We lost Alaskan luthier Tom Malapanis several years ago, but not before he was able to leave us with an impressive body of work. We’re proud to offer this 2017 Classical today, outfitted with upgraded and figured Cocobolo plus Cedar on top. French Polish finish throughout, plus a fairly chunky Mahogany neck; this Malapanis feels lovely in hand with a 650mm scale and 52mm nut. Build weight comes in just under four pounds, this is a particularly resonant Cedar top with some gorgeous overtones in the midrange to fill out the voice and add color.

Cocobolo and Cedar is a tremendous combination. It lends itself to a warm and deep voice and that's what we have here with beauty to spare. 
I very much appreciate the power and clarity in the bass register, so warm and colorful. That pairs beautifully with precise trebles for an articulate, powerful voice. | Scale Length | 25.625 in |
