Al Di Meola. Andy McKee.

Ember is Al Di Meola's Opus Virtuoso steel-string OM. Driftfire is Andy McKee's Opus Virtuoso steel-string grand auditorium. Each has its own body shape, materials and specification, preserved in its Museum record.

The artist connection does not turn either guitar into a stock signature model. A related commission is a new instrument, with its own agreed specification. For photographs, performances and the musicians' own words, visit Artists and Testimonials.
