PearlVibe Golden Heart“ „Golden Heart“ by   Pearlvibeguitars.com , dedicated to the guitar great, Mark Knopfler.   „It is simply the most exciting tele on this planet.“  Atleast,thats what most customers say after visiting my studio. Road-worn or artificially aged guitars are nearing the end of their fad and acceptance - musicians and collectors are looking for something „real and beautiful“ realizing that a relic is nothing more than a new factory guitar made to look old by the use of some simple tricks. They still sound like factory instruments. I, on the other hand, have set out to not only build the most beautiful tele type guitars on the planet but also give each guitar a voice or tone of its own, reminiscent of some of the finest old vintage Telecasters. BS you say? OK, just check out this tone test:     Each guitar is approached as a work of art capturing the elegance of some of the most beautiful and costly materials and putting them all together so that they „ring like a bell“: Great vintage tone, sustain and sought-after playability!  At the same time, these are players meant to be played a lifetime- and played hard. I spend a lot of time matching neck to body and then complementing it all with the „right“ pickup that adds to the sought-after sound. „Golden Heart“ specs:  1. old and resonant two piece swampash body, 50´s shape and thickness, weight – 1,8 kg 2. one-piece grade AAA Canadian maple neck, vintage C profile, quatersawn, flamed maple, deep honey tint. Stunning deep flames or stripes, bone nut and locking tuners. 3. Hand wound alnico 5 pickups – traditional vintage type. Warm dynamic tele twang – lots of bite but no thin ice picky sound. 4.Classic bridge with compensated saddles and string through body, handfitted to give stronger downward pressure and more sustain and response. 5.Classic 50´s wiring for more resonse and dynamic useful tone. The precious White Abalone Shell that I used for the top is very rare – I simply can´t get anymore like it the way I want. I stained it a deep auburn gold. This material literally glows in the dark – an exploding rainbow everytime you turn it and change the angle or light. Those flames and ripples have so much depth they simply captivate the eyes.This material is also very hard and adds a bit of snap and more sustain to the tone. All Pearlvibes are completely unique and one of a kind; from the handbuilt abalone top,painstakingly pieced together to the vintage-specs resonant light body– handpainted with airbrush.I enhanced the natural grain quite a bit. All are lacquered with a very thin combination of nitro and then polyurethane. Hear and see these guitars in action on Youtube:   or go to Pearlvibeguitars(dot)com As an American guitar builder living in the southern Rhine Valley of Germany, I have come to specialize in building some of the finest and most beautiful custom-built, handmade  tele and strat type  guitars on the planet.

You´ll realize then that you are getting MORE than just a guitar! The „Golden Heart“ includes: Paper thin New Zealand WHITE Abalone top – rarest and most costly – hand selected pieces – about 400 pieces needed for one top – stained according to my own method – a deep transparent golden honey. I then spray a deep honey rust 4 tone  burst. Nitro and polyurethane lacquered and sanded paper thin, stained and painted with Airbrush to achieve a deep blue burst. Hand painted body using airbrush and extensive layers of intertwining shapes and colors to achieve that amazing depth. Very very tasty. Body – two piece old swampash, 1,8 Kg – very resonant – bright sounding. 50´s shape and size Neck– Canadian Grade AAAA one piece flamed maple with exceptional and amazing stripes or flames on all sides, rosewood skunkstripe, 2 way trussrod, vintage C shape, very tasty deep honey tint, medium jumbo frets dressed comfortably on the sides. Feels nice. The neck sounds snappy and middy and fits well to the body tone. Bridge – traditional 3 compensated saddle, reworked and hand-fitted to achieve greater downward pressure and better sustain. Tuners – Wilkinson locking type,. Pickups - Hand wound alnico 5 pickups – traditional vintage type. Warm dynamic tele twang – lots of bite but no thin ice picky sound. They lean toward the old broadcaster tone with that familiar snarl.   Elektronics – all from behind -  CTS pots, orange drops and very clever Les Paul 3 way switch – faster and surer than that cheap tele switch(sorry Leo) –   pearl plate control cover on back. I always use 50´s wiring – simply better response and more dynamic. The tone is more direct and ballsy. You lose less highs when turning back the volume. Classic tweed Case included. EXTRAS: Please write if you would like other pickups installed or add a third middle pickup and if you would like the exclusive Fingertips switching or Brent Mason type switching.   If you want to BUY NOW then please contact me immediately before someone bids.
