Designed by Los Angeles–based master luthier Otto D’Ambrosio, the Romeo is a thinline archtop semi-acoustic guitar that appears primed to take you from jazz to blues to rock, all in one sitting, while delivering a big dollop of its own personality along the way.
Based on a cursory glance, you might sum up the Romeo as a downsized ES-335 with asymmetrical dual cutaways, but its construction is actually very different than that seminal semi. The 1.75-inch-deep body is made with a solid arched-spruce top like that used on fine archtop and flat-top acoustics alike, and paired with back and sides of laminated mahogany.
