Suspense

The Suspense is a unique hollow-body electric guitar designed to give the liveliest electric sound possible from a small body guitar
without the problems associated with conventional hollow-body instruments when amplified.

Floating braces are suspended inside a hollow body that support the wrap-around bridge, which is not attached to the top like on other guitars.
The pickups receive a quality from the vibrating strings very similar to the lively and dynamic character of acoustic hollow-body guitars.
At the same time, the neck and strings generate sustain equivalent to set-neck and neck-through solid body guitars.
The unique design of the Suspense allows for playing in a loud amplified environment without fighting out-of-control droning feedback,
yet providing the resonant tone balance of an acoustic instrument.

The Suspense has the appearance of a solidbody guitar but the lively tone from the pickups sounds and feels like a unique semi-acoustic with beautiful sustain.
Unplugged it has an unexpected and uniquely responsive sound and feel originating from within and traveling through the entire instrument.
This guitar gives the definition of 'live sound' an entirely new meaning.
