We are advised that this fine instrument is comprised of a Honduran mahogany body, and that the top is of triple-A quality maple; the neck is said to be built from quartersawn mahogany (but you can’t see the mahogany because the back of the neck and back and sides are finished in uniform brown). It is awell-built, modern American lap steel, which, in its hard shell case is a little weighty, but fine sounding and easy to use.
