Guitar Info

A new example of contemporary German luthiery, this one-off guitar by Basslab is made from one piece of composite material (couldn't find the exact composition) and rigged with extra top gear. Though this kind of instruments are not so common, they are easily identifiable since Auerswald - another German brand - made similar guitars for Mister Prince.

I'm not a fan of such guitars but I find many details fascinating, like the surprisingly ergonomic quality of its design with plenty of curves in the back, and the way the knobs follow the curve of the front... It's worth clicking on the link to see that from close!

I really hate this kind of guitars, but hey, it's part of the family, and this one is quite noticeable with the Auerswald trademark 'sustain bow'. It's supposed to have a terrific sound and extra sustain (and I counted the frets, there are 31 ones, it's much worse than 8 strings).

Still the look is a little bit familiar since German luthier Auerswald built a couple of guitars for Prince (I never stopped calling him Prince, and that's cool because he calls himself Prince again now), including the iconic Love Symbol guitar.
