The design is based on the very essence of music (from the designer's perspective): the emotional freedom, the never ending flow, the energy of a stream one can feel looking at a yacht piercing the waves or a jet crossing the skies. It's dynamic shapes meet minimalistic approach: one pickup, one volume knob, black colored hardware and body, black ebony fretboard, making it's futuristic stealth-like appearance more expressive and elegant. Well balanced, providing easy access to the top frets, this extended range guitar offers great playing experience in many different styles.

Initially, this guitar design was developed for the designer's private use and enjoyment. But after having received highly positive feedback from the fellow musician and guitar oriented audience the thought of creating a brand was incepted and the title 2A instruments was made up. Although the brand name and the logo has not yet been registered, the designer intends to do so in order to continue designing and manufacturing guitars under the certain brand name.
