Abstract
We generalize a previous construction of a fermiophobic model to the case o f more than one extra W and Z gauge bosons. We focus in particular on the e xistence of screening configurations and their implication on the gauge bos on mass spectrum. One of these configurations allows for the existence of a set of relatively light new gauge bosons, without violation of the quite r estrictive bounds coming from the rho(NC) parameter. The links with Boss an d degenerate Bees models are also discussed. Also the signal given here by this moro traditional gauge extension of the SM could help to disentangle i t from the towers of Kaluza-Klein states over W and Z gauge bosons in extra dimensions.
