Hasn't officially been released yet.
Was supposed to be this summer.
No details but Jorma says it's a Triple-o size.
Suspect it's modeled after the David Bromberg version.

In other Jorma guitar news . . .

He just recently purchased (and used live) a new Les Paul (with Bigsby).

Thanks for the heads up Mr. Bassman - I'll keep my eyes peeled. :smile:

I just noticed the new version of the Steve Howe signature model too. The old one, made over 10 years ago, was based on his OO-18. The new one is based on an MC-28 but with an oval sound hole.

Unfortunately its MSRP is $6.6K.

I saw the Jorma prototype when Hot Tuna toured by a few months ago . Been waiting ever since .

I assume this one (or one just like it):

Sure looks and sounds like it . Is that a large sound hole model ?
