Butternut is a soft, warm tonewood, and on this H Series it gives a mellow, sweet voice over a Honduras mahogany body. The 27-inch scale is longer than our usual 25 inches, for a little more punch and sustain. Ebony fretboard veneer, open-gear tuners and our larger California-style body. Built by Richard Ash.
