Tiger´s Eye top? I am not kidding you - this Chronos guitar has a real gemstone top!

I am a one-man-workshop, and that means:
I don´t have millions of Dollars that I can use to push my guitars in the media.
I can´t afford to spend thousands $$ to hire famous guitar players just to play my guitars.
I don´t have the funds to promote my guitars with gigantic booths at each and every exhibition around the globe or on TV shows.
Most of my guitars sell thru word of mouth recommendations and that requires 100% satisfied and happy customers.
I am very proud of my guitars and for me it is very important to have happy and satisfied customers.
I take personal responsibility for the customer satisfaction and I am your contact for all concerns..

My name is Frank Scheucher.
In my custom shop in Germany I am building unique and individual electric guitars.
On my "gorgonized" series I use precious gemstone for the top of my instruments.

My inspiration is to break new ground by using new materials and designing guitars that are not just copies of already existing, successful models.
I always wanted my guitars to have their own character to people say: “Hey, this looks like a Zerberus” as soon as they see one of my guitars.
I very much respect the Vintage style guitars but I think that there must be room for innovation instead of imitation.
There are a lot of really talented and amazing luthiers outbthere whom I very much respect, but I always wanted to get off the beaten tracks.

My motto is 6 simple words: Be a voice – not an echo.
I started building guitars when I was 14 Years old and now after 38 Years I decided to take my guitar-building onto a new level of fine arts, combining beautiful gemstone with excellent lumber and hardware.
If you need versatility - if you love sustain - if you are into guitars that have character - if you love to play a guitar that you won´t find at every corner - you really should take a closer look :)

The top of this unique specimen is made of 0.2" genuine TIGER´S EYE GEMSTONE - no airbrush, plastic or wood - real stone!

The body is a chambered light Mahogany body (with a Copper/Gold hologram pinstripe) and the neck is a hard Maple neck with Ebony stripes and Rosewood fretboard with 25.5" scale. I have equipped the Chronos with Ratio Locking tuners and a Black Tusq nut by GraphTech. Amazing precision there at GraphTech :) The pickups are a set of Alumitone humbuckers made by LACE (USA). This model is no more longer available at LACE and I am glad that I could buy the last set. They still build the Alumitones. This type of Alumitone does not have a real coil-split option, so I equipped the push-pull potentiometers with capacitors to achieve a similar effect. That makes the Chronos a very versatile guitar that is perfect for a really wide range of styles. The gemstone top offers a very distinctive character with awesome sustain and makes every Chronos absolutely unique, second to none and unforgeable. The Chronos comes including a very good Zerberus luxury hard case and certificate.
The weight of the Chronos is only around 8lb what means that this guitar is not heavier than most standard solid-body wood guitar.

People often ask me: what does the stone do for the sound?

Does this guitar sound totally different?

First of all: No, it does not sound totally different.
You don´t want a guitar that sounds like a saxophone, a synthesizer. or a bullfrog, or one that sounds sterile and cold.
And here is the good news: The Chronos still has a lot of soul, character and warmth. It does not sound totally different. The stone just ads some extra sustain and harmonic resonances. It surely is different to a standard guitar, but it is different in a very good way.

And a very important point is the fact that every gorgonized guitar with stone top is absolutely unique like a fingerprint.
