Retailing at $12500, this guitar is not for the masses. Obviously a quality instrument, loaded with serious wood and relentless handmade touches, the real revolution is the halfing design, where the soundboard is curved only on the treble side. This design cleans up the bass and increases the volume of the mids, and adds considerable tone to the treble. Adding time during construction, the halfing combines the best sounds of flat top and archtop guitar.
