Description
This guitar is one that started it all. It’s the first product of the unique designing approach and high-end craftsmanship that we became known for later on. If what you want is the most multifunctional guitar out there, this is what you need to check out. At first glance it’s an unusual solid body guitar with arched top and back made of flame carved figured maple and wenge fingerboard with certain intriguing parts cast of bell metal. However, look a little closer and you see an unconventional pickup combination including our patented Uniacoustic system with a condenser mic installed in the organic acoustic cavity protected with a valve, neck DiMarzio pickup and custom-made Universum bridge pickup. The Uniacoustic system allows body’s mechanic vibrations and acoustic waves to be amplified with an original mechanical amplifier. In addition, signal from magnetic pickups can be mixed in with the condenser mic to enrich your tone. If that’s not enough for you, mind that the guitar has two outputs – acoustic and electric. They can be used simultaneously to achieve the unique feeling of playing two instruments at once. This guitar has original bridge, truss rod screws, saddle and binding further ensuring its unique status. There’s also a speaker in the guitar to rehearse without an amplifier. As they say, you never forget you first, and we certainly didn’t. This guitar is special for us and it could be special for you, if you give it a try.
