Custom Build of the Week (CBOTW) 1/18/2019

MERUS-7 with a Fishman Fluence Humbucker, Maple Burl Top and an Evertune Bridge  

Dark and foreboding, this recent custom-built Merus-7 is the auditory equivalent of the burly behemoth that subsists on high-gain amps, Evertune bridges and earthquake-inducing pickups. It exists for speed and thrives on accuracy. It’s the chill down your spine as you walk down a dark corridor and the last thing you hear before darkness falls.

This guitar was clearly designed with one thing in mind: total sonic annihilation.

 
Let’s take a look at the DNA of this beast shall we?

The 26.5" Scale Length tightens up the Low B for a faster attack:
