Mangrove brings in nature at every curve. This guitar has very little non-wood material involved. The beautiful New Guinea Striped Ebony fingerboard is silky smooth, which feels amazing along with the East Indian Rosewood neck.
Flatwound strings against the fretless board are incredibly addicting to play on. Any guitarist would have a lot of fun creating new playing techniques on a fretless guitar like this.
Mangrove is semi-hollow and the tineo body really rings. I utilized a floating ebony archtop bridge and a hand-made wenge tailpiece with custom crafted leaf cover held on by magnets.
