This is the kind of build you don’t see twice.
Handcrafted by Emanuele D’Alò of Shank Instruments (Milano, Italy), the “MM” is an all-solid archtop named for its two standout tonewoods — Mahogany & Maple — and built using the Benedetto method, fully carved by hand, top to back.
It’s got warmth, clarity, and punch — with a light spruce bracing system on both the soundboard and the back for added tension, structure, and resonance. The result is a guitar that feels alive in your hands — more chambered voice than carved box.
Fitted with a custom handwound humbucker, it blends organic acoustic character with smooth amplified clarity — great for jazz, fingerstyle, or anyone looking for that dry, woody archtop response with boutique feel.
