Interesting! Small hollow-body guitars are nice. I have played the
Ibanez Georg Benson model a lot and think it's awesome. This was an
old post of Kris' pen that bounced back into the loop - will you post
a follow up? How does the Little Mammoth do now when it's finally out
there making noise in your hands?

An excerpt that really makes this guitar special....

"The story behind this nut is just amazing and mind-blowing. A friend of
Bobby's from Alaska sent him a good size chunk of Woolly Mammoth tusk, which
you can see below. Just to jog your memory, mammoths went extinct roughly
10,000 years ago. Hence, the ivory nut on this guitar is an actual artifact!
I was born in Alaska, and because of this, the size of the guitar, and its
"big guitar sized" tone reported by Bobby, I named the guitar the "The
Little Mammoth.""
