Rising virtuoso Bastian "Baxty" Martinez bases his model on the A2 but tweaks key specs to create a unique instrument suited for the modern player. The upper horns opt for a deeper cutaway, increasing access to the upper frets. Notable aesthetics include the select solid colors, clear gloss, and the Baxty truss rod cover, while the construction features an Alder or Mahogany Body, Kiesel Trem, and Vantium Pickups.
