Nyatoh Body with Flame Maple Top
Nyatoh produces a rich, warm and resonant tone that is well balanced. The body is capped with a beautiful flame maple top for an elegant and figured touch.

Through-Body Maple Neck with Graphite Reinforcement and Scarf Joint
Extending the piece of wood used for the neck through the entire length of the guitar’s body allows for greater playability and sustain across the whole instrument. Graphite-reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road, while scarf joint for an angled back headstock increases the tension behind the nut that eliminates the need for string trees and/or string retainer bars.
