The Galileo came out of a need to come up with a design that had the extended upper horn that many players prefer, while giving it a unique profile. We also wanted something that kinda honored Star Trek (TOS, we’re old), as it was a major obsession of our young lives.
This prototype sports a recessed control area that in future versions will be customizable (and possibly hot-swap-able). This thing plays like butter and will definitely start conversations.
