From the builder's website:
The PIONEER is a step up from our basic model. The added pearl inlay and smooth satin finish give it that flawless look, feel and sound that always comes from the meticulous craftsmen in the PRUCHA shop. It has an outstanding response and projects a beautiful tonal quality on any stage.
