“<\/strong>This instrument draws direct inspiration from the very first Lollipop<\/strong> model already featured on these pages. The structure and philosophy behind the guitar remain identical; the only differences can be found in the number of frets \u2014 20 in this case, compared to the 22 of the previous model \u2014 and in the decoration on the pickguard requested by the customer.\u00a0I\u2019m very pleased to present this instrument, even though it is essentially identical to its predecessor, because I like to see it as a small confirmation of a modest success: years ago, I had the audacity to conceive, build, and present an instrument so far removed from conventional standards. The risk was high, but perhaps the gamble paid off”<\/em>….
