We sat down with German luthier Frank Deimel from Deimel Guitars to have a chat around a few of the guitars brought to Holy Grail Guitar Show 2016.
On this clip Frank shows us 2 variations of their Firestar model. The Firestar model is a crossover between a Jazzmaster, Jaguar and Non reverse Firebird and is their interpretation of a new offset style guitar.
Last year we did a custom order project with guitar player extraordinare, Thomas Andersson.
Thomas wanted something very unique with an offset twist. Therefore we put him in contact with german builders, Deimel Guitars.
Thomas ended up with a very cool – black sparkle 2 pickup Firestar.
Guitar player extraordinaire, Thomas Andersson, contacted us before his summer tour 2016 with an interesting custom guitar project for this specific tour.
We met up with luthier Pierre Dubré aka Dubré Guitars and came up with a JM design based on Telecaster hardware specs with bindings. We named this specific guitar JMT Custom.
On the pics below you can see Thomas play the JMT Custom on Grøn Koncert 2016 with artist; Nik & Jay.
At Frankfurt Messe 2013 we met up with Mayones and talked about the new models that they brought to the show.

Hi Frank, thank you for taking your time to speak to us. Could you tell us a little bit about how and when did you start your company? Where are you located?
I started my guitar-building company in Berlin during my study at the UdK Berlin, while I took the Industrial Design courses.
