Susi – a timeless design, reminiscent of several classics.
The body is arched in one way, in the middle it has 41mm, at the edges only 22mm, including a 3mm thick flamed maple top. This makes the guitar lighter: in a practical way but also in an optical way.
The set-neck is made of one piece of maple and two pieces of mahogany that once was a bench in a church. So this neck-wood has matured for decades while it heard a lot of organ music.
The low output TV Jones humbucker sounds very transparent and blends well with the Duesenberg singlecoils. The wiring is also special: 1. neck-SC; 2. neck+middle-SC in parallel, 3. neck-SC + split bridge-HB in parallel, 5. bridge-HB. A push-pull-pot lets you change the humbucker-wiring from serial to parallel.
