Like All Abstract Guitars The Maximus is a Neck Through Body
Design !!!
Shown in this picture our radical
Extenda Vee
The Maximus is Ed Roman's answer to that
antiquated guitar that weighs too
much and is built so that the neck
is guaranteed to break
, You know the one I'm referring to,
The Maximus is light, stable.
It will NOT break. It comes with a
lifetime warranty against headstock breakage. The competition
leaves off a volute and tilts the headstock so far that the chance
of breakage is very high. The Maximus is available in any scale you
want. Standard of course is 25".All Abstract guitars are available
with almost any custom modification you could think of. You can
choose the wood you want, We carry
44 different types of wood on the premises. You can choose
whatever pickups you like, We carry all the major brand names and
many boutique brands like Tom
Holmes. You can order most models with
any headstock on
our list or design something yourself. You can choose the hardware
and you can design the electronics. Most models are available
in Basses, Doublenecks, Neck Through Body, Bolt On, Headless like a
Steinberger, Baritones, Left Handed or whatever your heart desires.
Abstract Guitars are only slightly more money
than production made guitars from other companies, Abstract Guitars
are thousands of dollars less than what other companies choose to
call custom shop guitars. We Offer the
Buzz Feiten Tuning System,
Direct Coupling
All Abstract guitars are built entirely in the
USA and carefully & lovingly set up just before we sell them. All
Abstract guitars come with a super stable very fast neck & neck
heel. we don't offer limited warranties like all the big
companies Abstract Guitars come with FULL Warranty, parts &
labor.
Because of the fact that
Gibson headstocks break so much we have decided to offer a
lifetime warranty on the Maximus neck. We really aren't too worried
we will have to replace too many because we use a volute on the back
of the headstock. We also use an intelligent headstock angle which
should prevent any breakage.
We won't warranty it if your wife throws it out of a 5th story
window (That Really Happened) However,
we will even warranty it if gets knocked over on it's stand. |
