Our various Stick models are available in rigid, medium lightweight,
laminated tropical hardwoods, including the deep yellow tarara (also
known as canary wood) with red and purple grain features, and the
brilliant red-orange padauk (pronounced "pah-DOOK").
Our dark Indonesian rosewood laminates are a bit heavier, and our
mahogany laminates are the lightest in weight. Choice of hardwoods has
no discernable effect on tone, as the strings are at a lower tension
for light tapping "action", thus there is very little interaction of
the vibrating strings with the neck/fretboard structure.
All our hardwoods are grown under sustained harvest plans as renewable
resources.
