Hopkins Tessa Nova
Peter Hopkin's Tessa Nova is a beautiful contemporary interpretation of the traditional archtop's timeless lines. The graceful sweeping forms of pickguard, tail piece, sound holes and pickup, intersect and merge in a rhythmic flow. The Tessa Nova's tone is unmistakeably archtop, but with a clean, open and percussive voice that lends itself well to chord, melody, and solo playing.
