Many of the former GN, MS and Elite models sold in the last few years are basically the same wood combinations as used in the Black Tiger models as well as its new sister version, the White Tiger. The White Tiger is basically the reverse of the Black Tiger model in the wood mixing and combinations. We have decided to make a combined 'Series' of models called 'The Tiger Series'. These are available in the same combinations as before with the addition of the 3-pc Maple/Walnut and Walnut/Maple MS series basses we have been making for the last few years. The MS version will be called the Black Tiger Standard or White Tiger Standard coded as TNS or WTS. The Black Tiger code has always been in Latin 'Tigre Negro' aka TN so as not to be confused with out older BT model which stood for Bass/Treble when it first came in in 1981 and now called our Vintage BT shape. Putting the prefix letters TN in reverse in Latin instead of BT has helped to avoid confusion.
