The Velvet Deluxe is a redesign of the former Velvet Custom, the original idea is to offer a 24 3/4” set-neck guitar with a lighter weight and pickups specifically tailored for both great clean and overdriven tones.
The body is made of African Mahogany that is chambered with a carved top. The neck is made of African Mahogany and a Rosewood fingerboard adorned with the Magneto Rhombus inlays. A bone nut will ensure best tonal response. The Velvet headstock has a 14° angle and sports Grover Tuners. The neck to body transition was sculpted in order to ensure the best access to the higher fret positions.
The Velvet Deluxe was designed to have a broader tonal range; fat and focussed mids when played with drive but enough treble and quack to serve the classic clean tones.
The new Magneto® Metro Pole MAC-5 humbuckers are wound around Alnico 5 Magnets and offer rich harmonics with a tight and precise bass response. They are controlled by a 3-Wav switch, a master tone and a master volume.
