After many years of dreaming, and many months of waiting, my dream guitar has arrived.  Since the formation of Chaosmonaut in 2017, we have had a strict rule of "no bass players", and have used clever engineering to fill that void.  In that time I modified two different guitars to use the 6th string as de facto bass with modified pickups, TRS jacks, and massive bass amps.  

This guitar takes it to the next level, being designed entirely around this concept.  

First is the tuning - Everything we have written is in Drop A, and in this case, it is no different with the 7th string tuned to the same pitch as the 6th, but being a flatwound for the extra warm bass tone.  

Second is the pickups - Under the top 6 strings in the bridge is a Dunable Grizzly, same as what Yob uses.  Under the 7th string in the neck is a half pickup custom made by Dunable.  This pickup goes to the ring connector on a TRS jack, keeping the signal completely separate from the 6 strings.  

Third is the knobs - there are none.  I never use them anyway as I control all the tone and volume with my feet via pedals.  The single switch is a 3 position toggle - top is master kill for both pickups.  Middle is coil split for the Grizzly in the bridge, and the bottom is humbucker mode.  

Fourth is the inlay - The inlay was taken from a star trails photo I took during a backpacking trip in 2020; Polaris is centered around the 12th fret.

Maybe the most unique guitar we've made in the past decade right here. Custom 7 string for Joe from Chaosmonaut with 6 string Grizzly for the bottom six, and a custom single coil mini pickup for the 7th, with each pickup going to its own output via TRS jack. Yep, this guitar does the guitar and the bass simultaneously, with a shocking amount of separation/lack of bleed between the two sets of strings. No volume, just a switch for both pickups, both pickups with the Grizzly split, and master kill switch. And then there's the custom inlay design spanning the whole ebony fingerboard, custom Stargazer logo, and mahogany neck and body, burl maple top, and gloss galaxy burst (with full on surprise glow in the dark space effects). Can't wait to see and hear this thing in action!
