THE RAW FINISH | We
apply a proprietary finish to the raw carbon on the back and sides that
is lightly sanded. This gives it a satin black look that is very smooth.
The neck is finished with the sole purpose of giving you, the player, a
very comfortable fast feel. The top is cleaned and buffed right out of
the mold and has a natural glossy appearance. The carbon weave on the
top has a great dimensional look. Just like natural wood, carbon fiber comes with its own character. The appearance of our raw guitar will
vary slightly from instrument to instrument based on the character of
the carbon fiber during the build process. As we hand build each
instrument we create small cosmetic differences from one instrument to
the next While these characteristics can be seen, they have no impact
on the performance, durability or strength of the instrument. Sound and
tone are not impacted as well. |

• The front pick-up is a Seymour Duncan
SH-1 or ’59 model. This is Seymour Duncan ’s superior translation of
the
traditional P.A.F. style humbucker . (P.A.F. is “patent applied
for” and was used in the original Les Paul guitars.”)
• The
back pick-up is a SH-4 or JB model. This pick-up is the archetype
hot-rodded humbucker. (This pick-up is
“overwound” to provide a hotter
output).
• The combination of pick-ups offers the player a wide range of tone and
provides a clean, powerful output for
whatever you plug into.
• The rigid, all carbon fiber guitar brings lighting quick response,
excellent definition and clarity, meaty tone, and
tons of sustain in
addition to the consistent, reliable performance regardless of playing
conditions.
• For reference, our guitar has two humbucking pick-ups, or humbuckers
– which are common with many styles of
guitars including the Les Paul
and many PRS guitars. The other common style of pick-up is a single coil, which is
used in a Stratocaster, or Strat.
• We do not currently offer a single coil pick-up, but our humbuckers are
4 conductor wired, so they can be “coil
tapped” to provide the user
with a single coil sound. Coil tapping is a different way to wire the
pick-ups. |
