2016 Deimel Firestar in Saturn Lavender for sale. 

This is an unbelievably built instrument. Extremely well thought out design (like a great German engineered car) with the best possible parts like the Mastery hardware both bridge and vibrato. The lightly applied nitro Saturn Lavender finish is beautiful and is great on stage, as when the light hits it a certain way it changes colors from silver to Lavender and everything in-between. Plays like butter and sounds and kinda looks like a Jazzmaster if Gibson would have been the inventor or worked with Fender on the guitar and if Les Paul (the guitarist) thought out the awesome electronic scheme himself! It was made early last year in 2016 and is like new minus some small surface scratches on plastic parts which will happen anyway after two days of playing (if you want perfect you could just replace the black pick covers and the tiny scratches will be gone and then it'll be exactly how it was when I received it) If you like the chrome plated pickup covers Deimel sometimes uses I can include a pair while I still have them. I ordered them but never installed them. Only light home use. No fret wear. It uses an innovative neck side adjustment for the truss rod (no more taking off your neck!) and has some of the cleanest fret work I've ever seen. The LesLee system is like a built in modulation/Vibrato sounding effect using both pickups going back and forth with variable speeds that you can dial in on the fly. The built in body transducer picks up every part of the body and neck, a good tool for acoustic like tones and great for experimentation type playing behind the bridge or nut or tapping on the body/neck for rhythmic looping and awesome with overdrive and fuzz etc. Monstrous fat sounding Novak pickups with bite, twang and growl all on tap. This instrument sounds great both clean and overdriven without losing its definition. The AAA figured flame maple neck is gorgeous. Most Deimel necks don't have this much flame and the neck shape is immaculately comfortable medium-large (not a tiny neck like on some Fender JM style guitars but not rediculously big just a great feeling neck on par with some high-end Archtops I've played) subtle V at the very first few frets to a med-lrg C type carved profile. I don't want to sell this instrument (and may not if some of my other gear sells first) but I need the money to go towards another custom guitar build most likely another Deimel with slightly different specs. Ships with a beautifully Firestar shaped, sturdy and well made hardshell case by Hiscox!
