Luca collaborated with Davide Serracini, designed a guitar, and named it "Reverse Slide Neck." It was inverted and had an attached slide that moved along with two string binaries. The neck was attached to the guitar with a magnet.

This gave Luca the ability to simultaneously play and helped him play 4 different tunes -melody, slide, percussion, and bass. On the guitar, Country Roads, the masterpiece by John Denver, felt peaceful and comforted all the listeners.
