The construction time is about 3-5 month! 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.

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.
