The ExP1 is a new take on the traditional acoustic archtop jazz guitar.
Based on the Karelia model, but with some novel styling features - see
the detail pictures below...
Note: I continued to work on the guitar after these pictures were taken...
so if you see any contradictions between the text and the pictures, it's
the text that's correct...;^)
Price: € 3500 including Calton case and shipping to EU countries or USA
(other countries please enquire).
