This model was designed with the intent of bringing more projection and focused sound to an archtop guitar, as well as being able to use woods that are more traditional in the flat-top acoustic guitar world, which are not always availalbe to archtop guitars.

The idea of this guitar is to be a sort of 'hybrid' between the archtop and flat-topped acoustic guitar. It is intended to be a gateway for flat-topped acoustic players who are interested in the design and sound of the archtop, but dont' want something too 'traditional.'

It was first unveiled in May, 2026 at Tom Sands' 'String Break' show in Harrogate.
