any kind of coating! Real White Italian Carrara Arabescato Marble

Isn´t that insanely heavy???
No, thanks
to a chambered Mahogany body and 0.2” stone top it only is 8.2lb and not
heavier than many standard solid body guitars. It really happens - I
am running out of gorgonized Nemesis models with real stone top. Me and
(most important) my customers love that Nemesis guitars, but for me now
it is time to move on and break new ground by building a new model with
real stone top. What do I have in mind? A gorgonized MORPHEUS model
with various stone tops. I plan to launch that guitar early next
Year. So this is one of the last 6 Nemesis models with real stone top
available.
My inspiration is to break new ground by using new materials and
designing guitars that are not just copies of already existing,
successful models.
I always wanted my guitars to have their own character to people say:
“Hey, this looks like a Zerberus” as soon as they see one of my guitars.
I very much respect the Vintage style guitars but I think that there
must be room for innovation instead of imitation.
My motto is 6 simple words: Be a voice – not an echo!
If you need versatility - if you love sustain - if you are into guitars
that have character - if you love to play a guitar that you won´t find
at every corner - you really should take a closer look :)
This Nemesis offers some amazing sustain and a lot of harmonic
overtones.
You get a
lot of punch and power in humbucker mode, and you also get a lot of
crispy tone in single coil mode.
The 25.5” scale helps a lot to get the
twang. This Nemesis plays and sounds incredible and you can hear that the
0.2” thick stone top is not just an optical gimmick. It really ads a
lot of even extra sustain to the tone.
This
special Nemesis comes with the LED strip unerneath the stone top that
can be turned on and off. You like it? Fire it up! You hate it? Throw
away the battery! (but please recycle )
Maybe I should answer some of the typical questions:...
REAL STONE??? ARE YOU NUTS??? Hahahah...I hope not
WHAT DOES IT WEIGHT? ISN´T STONE HEAVY? Yes...sure, stone is heavier
than wood. But using a very lightweight kind of mahogany and a body with
sound chambers keeps the weight in control. That Nemesis has 8.276lb so
it does not weight more than most standard solid body electric guitars.
Don´t forget - the top is only 0.2" thick.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DROP SUCH A GUITAR? Guitars don´t get better by
dropping them - But don´t worry - that Nemesis will not shatter into a
thousand pieces like a mirror if you drop it. How do I know? Simply
because I dropped one by accident after polishing the body. The upper
rim got damaged when the guitar dropped onto the concrete floor of my
workshop. Now it has two ugly dents and the clear coat has chipped of.
The top (Tiger´s Eye) still is intact and I could fix the guitar and
make it shine again but I don´t have the time. The top is not completely
free floating. It is glued into the chambered body. Moreoever the stone
top has a fiberglass net reinforcement applied to the backside so it is
very stable. All in all, it will not take more damage than any other
usual guitar.
DOES STONE SOUND? I will not write a scientific treatise about the tonal
properties and advantages of stone now. You can easily search the we
for that and you find a lot of it. In short words: The stone top adds
some really remarkable and even sustain to the sound. It does not sound
cold or sterile. It has a really fat and warm sound that you might find
on a really good solid body guitar. Plus some extra sustain. There are
some sound sample videos of stone tops on my website. All of my guitars
have the option to split both humbuckers into single coils by push-pull
separately. That makes this guitar extremely versatile from Blues over
Rock up to Metal and many more. I think you call this a Jack of all
trades. I call it an alround working horse.
WHAT´S THE NECK PROFILE? The fretboard has a 14" radius and the neck has
a nice C-shape with 20mm and fret 1 and 22mm at fret 12. Width at nut
is 43mm. Sorry...I am a metric guy.
DOES IT COME WITH A HARD CASE? Yes, of course it comes inside a hard case.
If you have
more questions you are very welcome to ask.
Regarding shipment: I ship
by DHL as a fully insured parcel (I never ship without insurance).
Untill Today they never lost or damaged a guitar, but you never know.
Better play safe.
Actually the DHL standard shipment can be very slow (they say: Caused by
Coivd 19). There is an option to add some extra service to the shipment
called "Premium". DHL charges USD 80 for that service and Premium
should allow a faster shipment. But by my experience that service is not
worth the money that it costs. Actually any shipment can be delayed .
Sometimes DHL standard shipments arrive after 2 or 4 weeks...sometimes
they
also can take double that time. Of course I am at your side all the time
and I also check the tracking information, but you need to be aware
that in these trying times the transport worldwide is slowed down.
Packed safely inside the hardcase with bubble wrap around the hard case
and inside a very stable overseas cardboard box and lots of Red tape
around the box, the guitars are safe on the long haul.
Frankly speaking, 90% of our customer live
in the USA and Canada, so shipments to the States and Canada are
business as ususal for me.
Take care and stay safe!
