It's the last born in time order. The Idea was to introduce an more modern instrument, with a more powerful and aggressive sound, without distorting the classic jazzy sound. The introduced differences are all applications of principles of the more innovative and known constructors of contemporary Archtop guitars, such as Linda Manzer and John Monteleone. From here the X bracing, scalloped and asimettrical regarding the harmonic table, and the ovoidal openings along the rims. The electronics remain suspended in order not to go to "muffle" the soundboard vibration. So it turns out a "shining" instrument, with a full sound, defined and ready, for the Jazz similar to the Mike Stern one.
