The Ultimate Baroness is crafted from a carefully selected piece of ash olive burl, a very special wood that deserves unique treatment. To get the best from this outstanding wood, the Ultimate Baroness is carved out in one single piece. The uncompromising construction method has been pushed to its limits with a "through body" fingerboard that literally becomes the soundboard of the instrument.
Olive ash burl is a relatively lightweight wood, and sonically it delivers a very pleasing balance of brightness and warmth. The flamed maple wood of the "through body" fingerboard is prized for its bright tone and great sustain.
