Devon Guitars Moves with the Speed of Light
November 6, 2000
Devon Guitars is proud to announce the introduction of Lightwave Systems Optical Pickups to their family of quality instruments. The novel optical pickup reads the shadow of the string, converting it into an analog signal and thereby capturing far more resonance and harmonic content than conventional pickups.
Utilizing only the finest tonewoods and bookmatched tops, the Devon-Lightwave Series melds sheer beauty with unparalled
tonal clarity of the Lightwave System. Visit www.lightwave-systems.com. For builders, "Installation is a lot simpler because conventional copper-foil shielding is not necessary, unlike typical magnetic pickups. All of my customers are raving about the purity of the tone and rich fundamental. No other pickup really even captures the clarity that the Lightwave System exhibits" said Devon Smullen.
Options include a wide selection of bookmatched tops and backs, lined or unlined fretless versions, Sims LEDs in fretboard, oval mother-of-pearl inlay, heeless, 5-bolt, 24-fret deep-set neck with a graphite neck option and various finish options. Hardshell case included. Retail price: 5-string, $2895.95; 4-string, $2695.95 For more information, visit their web site at www.devonguitars.com. |
