This is certainly one of the most unique and best sounding S styles Frank Verrilli has built. Carefully chosen tone woods, eliminated forearm and tummy cuts (to allow for a more deep and consistent chambering), no F-holes, are some of the factors that contribute to the sophisticated and rich timbre coming from this instrument. You'll find yourself not wanting to plug it into an amp right away. When you do, you ll be pleased to hear the clarity and rich fulness of tone. For the player who is searching for something like no one else has.
