This is probably the most excited I've been about a guitar that we've built since the first handful seven years ago.  It's a reverse image carve top with both the top and back hollowed out in a mirror image.  There's a block that runs from the back of the bridge to the front edge of the bridge pickup.  Other than that the body is basically hollow.

We've been working on this for several months now and we've finally completed the first of two prototypes (this one has an alder back).  It was incredibly cool to plug it in  I had all kinds of theories about how it was supposed to sound but none of the theories prepared me for the reality.  It's by far the biggest sounding guitar we've ever built. 

There will be a second prototype completed within a couple weeks (with an ash back and a Loar Burst finish)  and then we're on to the first production versions.  There will be a few internal adjustments for the production model, but the only visible change will be countersunk knobs. 

The carve top will be available in both Gosling (25.5") and Swan ("27") versions, wiht either an alder or swamp ashback and will be available in all of our standard pickup configurations.  The price for the carve top starts at $2900.  Orders can be placed now.
