“Me and Manne we know each other since we were kids, but we grew up following different musical and professional ways.

At 44, after thousands hours of guitar playing on different brands (including a really precious vintage Strat) I decided to have a Manne Ventura built.
After the Ventura I was ready for a more personal instrument.

So after a discussion we found out the instrument that would right for me is a Prototype of a new asymmetrical shaped Taos.
Thanks to the attention of Manne to all my requests and the capability to let them become an instrument, I got a fantastic guitar, really matching what I was looking for.

The shape is really comfortable for my playing position, that is a little more angled upward than standard, also after hours of work.

The Clean sounds are warm and powerful on all fretboard, cutting thru jazz rock fusion.
Every musician should look for its own sound without imitating others and this can be archived very well with a perfectly tailored instrument.”
