Recent Pegasus Mauna Kea Model Guitar
I recently completed this 6 string guitar. My Mauna Kea Model is similar to my Mauna Loa Model, but with a tighter waist. Both models are roughly the size of a 000 size guitar. A nice balanced fingerstyle or slack key guitar. Below are temporary photos. I'll get some better ones up in the next few days.

From the owner:
"Hi Bob - Just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that the guitar arrived safe and sound this morning. Needless-to-say, I couldn't be happier. I'll write more once I've had a chance to play it more and it has settled into its new home, but already the fullness, the balance and the note separation is outstanding. And the neck is an absolute dream. What a beautiful guitar. "
