Given McGill's broad reach as a luthier and his inventive approach, this guitar has a unique bracing pattern inside - it is lightly braced with 5 fans and a Bouchet-style under-bridge brace (which is scalloped at the ends and has openings that allow the fans to pass through). The sides are veneered - but only in the upper bout - from the waist down, it is just the single cocobolo sides. Additionally, it features two long "floating" braces that extend vertically from the either side of the fingerboard all the way down to the sides of the lower bout, attaching to side supports near the foot. This seems to add structural strength to the guitars otherwise light build for its size. Sound is especially clean and clear for a cedar top, yet it contains a healthy amount of very controlled overtones to give the sound plenty of density in every note. The internal work is matched by a bold exterior appearance with a tapered bridge and steel-string-esque head shape, tapering to the top and rounded with tall slots that follow the curvature of the top of the head.
