The design is very familiar, yet set apart by the Tao signature touch (recessed pickguard, body contours, custom made pickup covers, adjustable string trees....).

Penny has a very lightweight swamp ash body (6lbs 2Oz) with thin, open pore finish which contributes to the very open sound of guitar.  A very resonant instrument that plays effortlessly due to subtle and very well thought improvements over its predecessor. Custom wound Benedetti pickups are made with traditional blackguard sound in mind (think Roy Buchanan).
