"Malaysian luthier Jeffrey Yong was inspired by the Japanese earthquake when designing this 10-string guitar with uneven appointments at the soundhole, back, and bottom strap button. The wood is monkeypod with a Malaysian blackwood fretboard and bridge. The armrest, sideport soundhole, and fret-access cutaway are standard features for Yong's instruments. The top four strings are doubled like a 12-string guitar."
