Hopkins Tessa Nova
DESCRIPTION:
Peter Hopkin's brilliant new offering, the 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.
The Tessa Nova may also be custom ordered with the following options: Available in natural, vintage blonde, sunburst or violin finishes. Available in 16, 17 or 18 inch body. Parallel or cross bracing.
