Introducing the Manne Taos Satin Special Thin Top. Made in Italy and featuring a Thin Burl Poplar top, Black Korina body and a satin finish. The body is finished with the same smooth finish Manne use on the necks. This is accomplished using a thin finish layer that is carefully sanded and hand rubbed to produce a comfortable, warm and natural feel of a satin finish with enhanced wood grain colors and textures.
