  • Aaahhh Guitar- hacking..thats something I like to do myself..as you can judge from the attached pics.

    Actually this was my start as a maker.

    DEIMOS CIV  (built in 2004)

    image

    This one has only 4 strings for down tuning, and way more room for bendings, 2 types of humbuckers + a singlecoil they are configurable in nearly ANY combination you can imagine selectable with the switches (including seperating the humbucker coils+ out-of-phase). the knobs in skull shape control volume+ tone

    The horns are REAL cow horns. Crude satin finish to compliment the overall design.and yes it has stage experience, as you might guess it is made for the more aggressive flavours metal.

    the other one is more a thing for

    DEIMOS '73

    A 1973 vintage JOLANA VICOMT made in the former ĆSSR found on a basement in 2005...in nearly rotten shape.

    I managed to revive the pickup, and replaced some crappy Soviet components with proper German equivalents+ a heavily aged and rough finish to pay duty to its vintage and history behind the iron wall. this one is a rock/ punk guitar that could have been played while the berlin wall was falling. and of course it does not require you to play with just one string..I just do not have new strings around.

    Th F hole was already there but it was cracked, I repaired it and and gave it the red finish plus an inlay that says " '73 "..
