MusicStoreLive has one of these new guitars for sale on Gbase, and their description sounds interesting.
"The sound is about as "toppy" as it gets, but it's never brittle or thin. It has that characteristic snappy high-end that defines a good acoustic archtop, but there's also a warm mid-range and smooth, rich bass to balance out the sound. It's reminiscent of great swing guitar tone - think Bucky Pizzarelli, Frank Vignola and Howard Alden. Over time, it's going to get warmer and fuller. The neck is extremely comfortable and won't get in your way when you're reaching for complex chords or picking out fast single note lines. It's perfectly suited for small combo or solo jazz playing, but it'll also thrive in a blues context. Amplifying this guitar won't totally change its tone, either - it's the same thing, just louder. Every cut on this guitar is perfect and it radiates precision and dedication."
Sounds good, and is making me very impatient!
