    Looks kinda cool. I wonder how it sounds/weighs?

    Looks like a Monte copy rather than Giacomel.

    Definitely! This thing looks awesome from the pics. I wonder what it looks like up close. The one year warranty is a little scary too.

    Clearly not a copy of a Giacomel, Monte inspired? I think so. Giacomel was simply named as an example of a non-trad design.
    I would be curious to hear what this one sounds like. I recall trying out a Paris Swing in a shop (another non-trad variant). It sounded like they left too much wood behind.

    Save a few bucks and commission one from Tim Frick. His work is masterful. NFI.
