Laurie Williams has been at the forefront of experiments with new and exciting species of tonewoods since the beginning of his career back in 1992. Known world over for his use of Kauri, a hardwood native to his New Zealand home, Williams has been creating powerful, and beautiful, instruments for decades now. Allow us to introduce you to the 2002 Tui, complete with Ancient Kauri back, sides, and neck, and “Living” Kauri top. The all-Kauri construction gives the guitar a big, crisp voice which sings with a fingerstyle approach. The bass is dry and punchy, and the middle register is clean and articulate–the balance is exceedingly fine-tuned, resulting in a very responsive instrument. This guitar has opened up nicely in the last decade, and is in excellent shape, ready for action. This guitar comes with a Modern Case Company softshell case.
Yowch: you have to be careful with this guitar, it cuts like a knife. I'm very impressed with how clear and articulate the voice is, and how smooth the setup is. This is a guitar for fingerstylists of all walks. 
Another fine guitar from down under. The tonal balance of these guitars is toward the mid range which makes it a good recording guitar for fingerstyle players or a good ensemble guitar that would cut through the mix well. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
