The Body
We selected basswod as the body wood for the Tenua "High Gain" Guitar Special. This light weight wood is said to pronounce the mids and to work towards a well balanced tone. Some of the most famous guitarists use this wood in their signature guitars. We colour it black and give it a natural oil/wax finish.
Hardmaple with carbon fibre reinforcement bars is our choice for the neck of the Tenua "High Gain" Special guitar. Together with the Ebony fretboard and the stainless steel glued in frets it all works towards a bright and clear tone by making the guitar sing with great sustain. Blue Luminlays as side dots give great guidance across the fretboard.
The Bare Knuckle Aftermath Humbucker gives you "accelerated bass response, crushing mid range and precise high-end articulation" as Bare Knuckle Pickups describe it themself. The Burnt Chrome Battleworn finish makes it a real eyecatcher on this mostly black guitar. With one pickup like this a single volume knob is everything you need on the controls.
The elegant single bridges and head pieces by German manufacturer ABM are made out of solid Bell Brass and deliver a perfect sound transmission between the strings and the instrument. The system makes string changing as easy as it is possible and the outstanding tune stability supports your playing.
