2010s Mark Iseman Style 2 Weissenborn-Style Hawaiian Guitar

Overview: I didn't know about Iseman guitars until this wound-up in the shop, but a quick glance around the internet will tell you what you need to know to know that your eyes aren't lying to you -- this is a quite high-end Weissenborn-style instrument and it's built from premium materials and to a very high spec.


This was built when the builder still lived in Hawaii and features crazily-flamed koa throughout. It has that sing-song, island sound to a T and looks absolutely gorgeous. I am a big koa fan so just opening the case on this gave me a rush of admiration.


Repairs included: I restrung it and gave it some minor adjustments. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.
