INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE - HARBY PEDALS "CENTAURI" KLON - A $169.00 VALUE!! (see video below)

Custom Designed & Crafted "Tele" Style w/Western Tolex & Jasper Stones Serial #037. The guitar top is custom covered with Western style Tolex and inlaid Aqua Impression Jasper stones. The back is a sunburst. The pickguard is Aqua Mother-of-Pearl. The hardware is all gold with a gold control plate with a three way level and gold switch tip. There are two gold dome knobs with turquoise inlay. The ash tray is gold fitted with solid brass intonatable saddles. The volume and tone are both push-pull coil splitting both the P-90 in the neck and the humbucker in the bridge position. The volume and tone are both Bourne push-pull pots, with a Sprague Orange Drop capacitor. The guitar weighs 8 lbs. 13 oz.

The neck is a roasted maple "tele" neck - with a rosewood fingerboard. Roasted wood helps to stabilize the wood against moisture, darkens the color slightly, and makes it slightly lighter. The frets are medium jumbos and the ends are rounded for better playability. It has a 9 1/2" radius fingerboard. The neck as a genuine bone nut. The headstock is fitted with six gold gears and our applied signature Mother-of-Pearl stars.

The pickups are Kent Armstrong - Custom Series Stealth 90 Noiseless in the neck - HP90NB - This new revolutionary design gives the sweet, warm chime and tone of the original P-90 pickup without all that annoying 60 cycle hum. The bridge pickup is a Chaos Series Powerblades - THR1R.

HARBY PEDALS - CENTAURI KLON - INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE

The original Centaur’s components were attached to the circuit board using “through-hole” techniques, with pins that go through the circuit board and are soldered on its underside. This process got the job done, but it was expensive and time-consuming. Eventually, Bill Finnegan began producing his pedals using surface-mount technology (SMT), attaching the components directly to the circuit board’s face. This is the method we used to design the Harby Centauri.

True to the original

Bill Finnegan once said of his 1N34A germanium clipping diodes that they are “… the most important factor in how the circuit sounds when it’s being used to create distortion.” As a tribute to his insight, the Centauri uses only 1N34A diodes, with an original forward voltage of 0.35v (+ 15%). It’s also built using the original Centaur circuit board layout and features its buffered bypass, rather than the more modern true bypass.

Technical

• Original Centaur circuit board layout.
• Gold-plated PCB (ENIG).
• Genuine Texas Instruments op-amps (TL072).
• NOS 1N34A germanium clipping diodes with original forward voltage of 0.35v (+15%).
• Solid anodized aluminum knobs (volume, drive, and tone controls).
• Neutrik input and output jacks.
• Buffered bypass.
• 9v DC operation using a standard negative center power supply.
