 March 19, 2009 | The latest from Jonathon Mann.
Our favorite emando builder, Tennessee craftsman Jon Mann has caught our eye with his latest finish "coral reef" (made him think of the Cayman Islands--us, too) on his widely popular SEM-5 double cutaway. Inspired by a Brian Moore guitar, the specs are as follows:
Quilted maple top, Honduran Mahogany back, Birds-eye maple neck, Coral Reef finish, matching headstock. 14.5" scale. 12" radiused Macassar Ebony board. Graph Tech nut, 2 Dimarzio pro track pickups. Gold hardware. Wrap around tailpiece is hand machined from aircraft grade aluminum then triple gold plated. The combination of neck thru construction and wrap around tailpiece make it great for sustain...
