Deimel Guitarworks Singlestar " Silverspace " Heavy aged #4 for sale

Our newest addition to the Deimel Singlestar family is heavily aged, super-sounding BoltTone in »Silver Space«! The use of a one-piece, super light red alder slab, well-seasoned, hand-selected figured maple, and a Macassar ebony fretboard is the foundation of its pure and great guitar tone.
We decided to »quote« the diagonal shape of a G-style 2 P90 Special pickguard, morphed with a Junior shape on the right, by using a see-through tortoise celluloid material …

This guitar is made with love and passion!

… The bridge again is our favorite Deimel Vibratone, a guarantee for sustain, tuning stability, and attack. The overall guitar looks like a heavily used instrument already, all metal surfaces are matt, or tarnished, and the nitro finish is beautifully laced in horizontal, long hairline cracks all over the body and neck surface. Heavy aging mostly on the body tells a well-loved story and that suits so well to the tone. This guitar is already able to spit out: raw and lascivious, with a honky midrange, and super responsive, detailed chord definition.

What the woods already promise, is being picked up by two Deimel hand wound P90/S90 tap pickups. Both coils are made of vintage style ingredients; rough, sand cast Alnico 5 (on bridge) and aged rod magnets (on the neck), wound with Plain Enamel AWG 42 wire. Both have an additional tap coil wound on top of them.
The controls are volume, tone, and tap-blend, which is a new feature on our guitars: the tap-blend pot allows for dialing continuously between the lowest and the highest output of both pickups simultaneously. So, when the tap blend is turned down, the neck pickup behaves like a great old vintage S-type neck PU, whereas the bridge P90 has almost the bite and clarity of a T-Style bridge PU. Once you dial the tap-blend (mostly on the first third) both pickups start to change their characteristics according to the amount of wire used by the pot.
Fully open, the neck pickup turns out to be a very strong and thick-sounding S-type pickup, almost unheard of, and the bridge pickup becomes the fattest, creamiest P90 beast with all that necessary grind and punch!
The really nice thing is that with a quick flip on the pot, you gradually choose everything in between on both pickups at the same time! This allows for a really easy and intuitive use of the guitar's voice, almost as if you would have an adjustable boost pedal on your guitar, but all passive!
Especially when in addition to playing around with the passive volume and tone controls, endless variations in the guitar's voice are adjustable without getting your mind around too many controls!
The Singlestar BoltTone comes strung up with handmade Gabriel Tenorio strings, in a very sturdy Hiscox case, and is hungrily lurking to be set free on stage soon!
