Dommenget / Mastercaster / 2010's / Candy Apple Red / Guitar
Mastercaster Candy Apple Red
( Used one by Matthias Jabs on Tour)
The basic idea was a better follow up of the Jabocaster. It should be able to produce all the different sounds of the Scorpions, from wallcrashing heavy to ultraclean. All sounds should be available from the guitar controls. Also it should feature 24 frets.
The development took a couple of prototypes, the final model represents the optimum. This varity of sounds is possible by the use of the brandnew Dommenget patented pickups, carefully made to Matthias specifications.
Body : old german alder
Neck : european maple, carbon-reinforced, medium D
Fretboard : rosewood, long scale
Inlays : Dot mother of pearl, Sign in fretboard Abalone / mother of pearl
frets : jumbo Dunlop 6150 (Gibson)
Machineheads : Kluson vintage style
Bridge : FloydRose orginal Trem
Schaller Strap Locks
Pickup Bridge : "Masterbucker B" (HBSC combination Humbucker / Single Coil, patented )
Pickup middle : Funkstrat, reverse polarity
Pickup Neck : "Masterbucker N" (HBSC combination Humbucker / Single Coil )
Colour: Candy Apple Red
For the reasons of sound we use the good old 4-hole steelplate to hold the neck. The connection is "wood-on-wood" non-laquered to enhance the sound even more ( an old Jimi Hendrix trick with remarkable results ).
The original Floyd Rose tremolo is mounted flat to the top (downwards only) for more sustain and stay-in-tune-ability.
Laquer ultra thin and hand polished, Nitro laquer, 15 coatings.
