This example, like most Davis Guitar Works guitars, features unique, high-quality exotic woods, in this case a combination of spalted and figured clear mango I hand-selected on the island of Maui, Hawaii. To celebrate the spirit of “aloha”, the lacquered mango fingerboard is graced by a beach-side palm tree of paua shell, and black and gold pearl, and is tortoiseshell bound. The electronics are a red Lace Sensor set in a paua shell inlaid surround, controlled by a single volume and tone pot. To hear an Octave 12 in action, go to The Big Ugly Guys website.
