Made and designed wholly in the Buzzards Field workshop, this solid-body instrument is the most diminutive in the range.  Measuring only 72 by 16cms, it has been designed with maximum portability and ease of storage in mind. (Plus - it can be sneaked home without the spouse noticing.) It is comfortable to play when standing, weighing only 2 kg. The balance point is just forward of the body which makes it a comfortable to play with a strap - although when seated it does take a little getting used to.

It's a really striking and detailed instrument - Solid oak and sapelle are finished with a tough nitrocellulose laquer and black tuners and details.

 The sound is produced through standard Thundergut strings; a bar pickup beneath a compensated bridge and passive electric controls for volume and tone.
