HYPEMACHINE 2016
Carbon Premium with 'lights on'
Welcome to the Hypemachine 2016 Release. After the overwhelming
success of the
Hypemachine 2013, 2014 and 2015 models, we are proud to announce the release
of the 2016 Limited version.
Strictly limited to seventeen (17) guitars and basses, these WILL sell out fast. With 2nd quarter 2016 delivery and monthly payment plan, you cannot ask for more in an honest, well built instrument. A further three (3x) orders have been pre-reserved for our VIP clients from 2015. If you miss this opportunity to purchase, please consider the VIP offer presented to you at the checkout, to avoid further disappointment.
Postage available WORLDWIDE.
HYPEMACHINES - ALL THE DETAILS
MATERIALS
An extensive list of materials for bodies, necks, and fretboards are offered to ensure your Hypemachine is a true one of a kind. The base materials for bodies are; Tasmanian Blackwood, Swamp Ash, Mahogany, with more available as as option. For necks we use Maple, Tasmanian Blackwood, with an extensive list of exotics specific to each run. Fretboard standard materials are Ebony and Rosewood, with a range of others offered within the run.
For 2016, we are offering three top options only: Aged Copper, Carbon Fibre, and Gold Leaf. Each top option has two levels of exclusivity: Premium and Ultimo.
DIMENSIONS
The fanned arrangement of the Multiscale fretboard creates scale lengths for each individual string. We generally call this the "spread". For Hypemachiness, the spread is as follows:
Six string: 25.5" or 25.5" - 27.5" Multiscale
Seven string: 27" or 25.5" - 27.8" Multiscale
Eight String: 27" or 25.5" - 28.2" Multiscale
Due to the increased scale length on the bass side, the tension of the strings increases. We recommend you try dropping a gauge on the bottom end, for example, if you usually use 9-46's, try 9-42's.
The bodies are thinner than you may be used to, at 38mm. This is still thick enough to accommodate the deeper push/pull potentiometers used for coil splitting pickups, and allows for more resonance than thicker bodies.
FEEL
The proprietary chambering in each Hypemachine creates a light weight, extremely resonant instrument. We expand on that with custom neck shapes to suit your preference. With an extended upper horn, expect a well balance neutral feel when standing.
All fretwork is stainless steel, in a variety of sizes, which offers the ultimate in not only feel (it is seriously smooth!), but longevity also. Stainless steel frets tend to last three times longer, giving you piece of mind and confidence that your dream guitar will last a lifetime.
HARDWARE
The bridges are custom made for us to exacting tolerances. We chose a single string bridge design to allow us to add strings (for sevens and eights) without the development costs of regular hardware. What we found, was that single string bridges had a more open cleaner tone, with each string being able to ring true. Chords sounded clearer and sustained for longer. The vibration of each string influenced each piece of hardware, rather than ALL strings vibrating against one common bridge.
Machine screw and neck inserts are standard, which offer more than three times the strength of regular bolt-on neck screws. Hipshot machineheads are standard, and hardware can be coloured either chrome, black, or gold.
TONE
Our unique chambering helps not only lower the strapped on weight of a Hypemachine, but increased the mids and gives a more percussive attack to the bottom end. With our standard and custom range of pickups at your disposal, we can shape each Hypemachine's tone into whatever you fancy.
FINISH
As standard, Hypemachines have our six coat oil system. Hand rubbed, and very thin, the oil protects your Hypemachine against moisture and humidity changes whilst giving it a nice earthly feel. We do also offer a lacquer in both full gloss, and gloss/satin.
