    14 x 6.5 Birdseye Maple

Overview

Like its traditional maple counterpart, the Black Panther Birdseye Maple gives you a warm, rich tone and the versatility of a finely crafted thin maple shell. The birdseye maple outer ply is produced in a sleek flat black finish.

Along with it 5.5" deep brother, this is one of the longest-lasting models in the Black Panther range, running unchanged (apart from the badges) from the launch of the range in 1997, right up until the wholesale refresh in 2010.
