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).
