In 2006, I embarked on a journey to create my very first custom-built guitar, which I proudly named the Jazzaxe. Drawing inspiration from the iconic offset models of the sixties, the Jazzaxe exudes a vintage charm with a modern twist. Its design is both visually striking and ergonomically pleasing, making it a standout piece.
The Jazzaxe is not just about looks; its sound is truly exceptional. The guitar produces a rich, versatile tone that is both unique and captivating. At its core are two high-quality humbuckers: a Kloppmann at the bridge and a Mojotone at the neck, offering a perfect blend of warmth and clarity. Additionally, a Dummy-Single-Coil-Pickup is ingeniously installed in the electronics cavity, adding another layer to its sonic palette.
One of the standout features of the Jazzaxe is the ability to split the neck pickup via the CTS One Meg volume pot, providing an impressive range of tones from a single instrument. This feature allows for seamless transitions between full humbucker power and the crisp, clean sound of a single coil.
Enhancing its superior playability and sustain, the Jazzaxe features Sperzel Locking Tuner, a through-neck construction and a one-piece ABM Bridge. This design choice ensures maximum resonance and stability, making every note you play richer and more defined.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Jazzaxe is a testament to both its aesthetic and auditory excellence. Whether you are playing smooth jazz, gritty blues, or high-energy rock, this guitar delivers with precision and style. The Jazzaxe is more than just an instrument; it’s a masterpiece that invites you to explore new musical horizons.
