The top is made of Certified European Spruce; the high-elevation, northern-facing Swiss Moon Spruce gives it more headroom than your average European/Alpine Spruce, which is ideal for the dreadnought body shape. The back is premium grade Wild Grain East Indian Rosewood. Hand scalloped bracing and neck shaving makes this a wonderful thing to hold. There's a little mark on the bottom left of the headstock; I included a picture of it (the 10th picture in the set), this is how it came when new. MLO HP taper neck, 1 3/4 nut width.
