PRESS RELEASE
Siegmund Guitars & Amplifiers introduces the new Suspense Guitar
February 16, 2009
Advertisement The Suspense is a unique hollow-body electric guitar designed to give the liveliest electric sound possible from a small body guitar, without the problems associated with conventional hollow-body instruments when amplified.Floating braces are suspended inside a hollow body that support the wrap-around bridge, which is not attached to the top like on other guitars. The pickups receive a quality from the vibrating strings very similar to the lively and dynamic character of acoustic hollow-body guitars.At the same time, the neck and strings generate sustain equivalent to set-neck and neck-through solid body guitars.The unique design of the Suspense allows for playing in a loud amplified environment without fighting out-of-control droning feedback, yet providing the resonant tone balance of an acoustic instrument. The Suspense has the appearance of a solidbody guitar but the lively tone from the pickups sounds and feels like a unique semi-acoustic with beautiful sustain.Unplugged it has an unexpected and uniquely responsive sound and feel originating from within and traveling through the entire instrument. Construction time: 70 hours Weight: 6.7 lbs. Other wood combinations and a flat top version are optional. Like every Siegmund guitar, the Suspense is individually made to order with custom options. Price depends on construction time plus cost of hardware and parts. The Suspense guitar with the options as shown and described is $5850.   (Click for close-up)Recent Siegmund Guitars headlines
