The first attempts at amplified instruments did not come until the development of electrical amplification in the 1920’s. One of the earliest pioneers was a Gibson engineer named Lloyd Loar. In 1924 he developed an electric pickup for the viola and other stringed instruments. In his design, the strings passed vibrations through the bridge to the magnet and coil, which registered those vibrations and produced an electrical signal. These designs attempted to amplify the natural sound of guitars, but produced a very weak signal. It was not until the invention of a more direct pickup system, which used an electromagnet to register vibrations directly from the strings, that the modern guitar pickup was born.
This guitar is the result of more than a decade of research, design, development and testing with engineers and guitar players to achieve and iterate the correct behavior of carbon fiber.
This bass has a samba wood body with a mahogany tone block topped with a bleached pear veneer. The top acts as a giant pickup cover, hiding a pair of hand-made single coils with neodymium cores.

The bridge and tuners are built by Guyker.
