The project was initially planned for 33 strings, and a long musician/luthier reflection led to the current simplification of its design.

 

 

The original basis for the Clara Archtop shape., Firmie will please fans of prepared guitars and multi-stringed instruments, and promises a fairly impressive pickup per square foot ratio!

 

 

The instrument is intended for band application, and will therefore be built semi-hollow with good resistance to feedback.
