Pat Hawley

Here's Pat's latest guitar. This one was designed to be tuned in 5ths (like a mandolin) rather than the normal 4ths so it has a relatively aggressive fan-fret arrangement. With fan fretting the low strings are longer than the high strings and this helps get the extended range for the 5ths tuning. The top is Englemann Spruce and the back and sides are Monkey Pod.
