Daemon 21.06.26

Sold

The ‘Daemon’ is inspired by the classic ‘double-horn’, 35mm/1.4” thick body shape, enhanced by a sculpted neck joint & rear contour. The ebony fingerboard features a flatter, conical-section radius than the Wolverine, and the solid brass, single-piece bridge is through-body strung & height adjustable from the rear.

The overall balance of the instrument is improved by a combination of the compact headstock, the placement of the strap-lock socket on the rear of the upper horn & the positioning of the neck joint further into the body. The heel-less design maintains easy access to the 22nd fret.

The neck is constructed using a ‘butterfly’ cut with an ebony centre splice for optimum strength & stability. The scale length is 635mm/25” with a nut width of 42mm/1.65” & string spacing at the bridge of 52mm/2”.

The compact, straight-string-pull, low-angle headstock with volute is designed to minimise weight & maximise strength & balance at what is traditionally the most vulnerable part of an angled-headstock guitar. The frets are medium-jumbo, ‘gold’, nickel-free C425 alloy – harder wearing than nickel-silver but not as unforgiving as stainless steel. The fret ends & fingerboard edges are rounded through multiple stages of smoothing & polished to give the ideal balance between ‘worn-in’ comfort & usable fret width.

The height-adjustable roller nut, bridge, string ferrule block & magnetic truss rod cover are all machined from solid brass in-house. The hardware is completed by Hipshot ‘Griplok’ locking tuners, & Dunlop flush-mount strap locks, with an ultra-lightweight titanium double-action truss rod & domed brass side dots.

The Daemon 21.06.26 features a pair of ‘Noventa’ P90-style pickups with bobbins machined from ebony, mahogany neck & body, push-button pickup selection & a Switchcraft output socket.
