What sets it apart
You choose the radius
Twelve or sixteen inches as standard, nine and a half on request. That last one is the vintage radius: a rounder fretboard, comfortable on chords and less forgiving on bends. Anyone who asks for it knows why.
Wooden or plastic pickguard
In wood it picks up the figure of the top and disappears into the instrument; in plastic it stays a piece of its own, the way it has always been on this shape.
Pickups wound by hand in Italy
They are De Gattis, built one at a time. Not a part ordered from a catalogue and fitted: the piece that decides the sound is the piece we make ourselves.

Two ways of working it
The edge stays square, or it gets contoured.
Standard: square edges, the historic design
On request: the edge contouring and the forearm bevel

With the push-pull up
The bridge humbucker stays on one coil even in the fifth position: it moves close to a single-coil and sits with the other two, without touching the selector.
