Our oldest design, developed in 1981
and for a very good reason never altered.

This was the first time we used a Kenyan wood called
"Mvuli", combining the sweet sustain in the treble register with
the clear, distinguished attack of a semi-acoustic in the lower range.

This guitar still sounds jazzy even at high volumes, when a traditional
semi-acoustic squeaks like Ted Nugent.

The wider body fits snug onto your body, whether sitting or standing up,
while the neck-through-design gives you the smoothest access to the high notes.

Since the Mvuli-wood has such a great acoustic response,
we decided to add a RealizeR- sensor as standard.
