This is a bouzouki with arched plates, graduated like those of an archtop guitar with tone bar bracing. This gives it a crisp attack and lots of sustain. The scale is 648 mm. and the strings are in unison pairs.

The body is American sycamore, and the top is Port Orford cedar (actually a cypress).

Visually it is stunning, with the body points accented by carved ridges on the top and back, elaborate inlay, and an unusual hollow head stock. Orange-red toned lacquer, gold hardware and rosewood bindings and veneers complete the warm look.

Construction features include the usual user-friendly bolt-on neck and an adjustable bridge. The neck has a modern 2-way adjustable truss rod.
