E-GITAR MARY

The electric guitar Mary is the second electric guitar developed and designed by us. The "floating sandwich construction" of the Mary ensures that the vibrating middle layer can vibrate as freely as possible. This results in an incredible sustain and a unique and clear sound.

BENDED
GUITAR NECK

Mary's guitar neck is made of pre-bent maple wood.
The transition from the neck to the headstock is glued on most guitars, which makes a glue joint visible. Then there is the possibility of milling the neck from a single solid piece of maple wood. This, however, leads to a sensitive breaking point, as the wood runs parallel to the neck. However, if you now pre-bend the wood at this point and then mill it into shape, the grain runs evenly from the neck into the angled headstock. The result is a solidly break-proof neck and 60% less material consumption.

GRIFFLE BOARD
FROM BAMBOO

Most of the guitars produced worldwide are fitted with a fingerboard made of tropical wood. The use of tropical wood is increasingly regulated by CITES and is not ecological either way. What is important about guitar fingerboards is how it affects the sound and whether it feels good when played. Extruded bamboo is a very good solution. It is denser and harder than ebony, for example, which has a positive effect on the sound and playability.
