By focusing on the design and structural elements
that go into making a superlative solidbody guitar
and utilizing clever passive electronics, Manne has created
an instrument that plays amazingly well, is exceptionally flexible,
and looks as bold and purposeful as a Ferrari.

SEMIACUSTICA
"I'm writing to tell you how much i'm enjoying your guitar. i've played it a lot at home and also on stage. The combination of a jazzy sound with the acoustic possibilities is just great for me and i promise to explore it further and let you know . One of the greatest things about the guitar is its playability: fantastic neck feel, action smoothness and rare balance however i hold it. I have already started recommending you whole heartedly everywhere! ...ciao". Gil Dor (Noa).

"This acoustic guitar is about the thickness of a regular guitar! And sounds as big as a Martin round back! I cannot say enough good things about this guitar. The neck is as thin (most cases smaller!) than my main guitars! " Bobby Ferrara

"The basic piezo acoustic sound is very usable and the many blend option with the humbuckers offer a far broader sound canvas than most electro-acoustic players will ever have had the opportunity to explore before... The neck pickup, has a very competent jazz solo tone wich can move trad or modern styles."
GUITAR UK . May 2001

This kind of guitar is addressed to both folk acoustic and semi hollow body guitar players. The neck is the same used for Taos models; body is made of light poplar; Spruce top. The body is closed, to prevent feedback at loud performances. A special element is placed under the bridge, to dump top vibrations, and simulate the minor sustain, peculiar of acoustic guitars. There is a piezo pickup under the bridge and a magnetic pickup near the neck, that you can mix to get all the different tones, from the full-bodied sound of the humbucker to the crisp and clean sound of the piezo.The bridge has a special design for fast string changing and compensation adjustment.
