Maybe you have seen the review of this Zerberus-Guitars Nemesis guitar in the US Vintage Guitar magazine issue August 2017. If you missed it - no problem - it is for sale and you should take a closer look.
This by far is the most beautiful Nemesis with real Onyx Fantastico Red Light top that I have ever built. Yeah, you hear right - the top of this unique artwork is made of 0.196" REAL ONYX FANTASTICO! No airbrush...no plastic...no foto-finish....no wood...real Stone!

That Nemesis is for sale and it already is in New Jersey / USA what means that the customs already is paid and it can ship by FedEx really fast.

It is hard to believe what the real stone top does for the sound.
All I can say is that those are the best sounding guitars that I ever built.
You hit the strings and you feel how powerful and continuous the whole guitar resonates.
I have done this side by side with "normal" guitars and the gorgonized guitars still keeps ringing when a standard guitar already is quiet.

This gorgonized Nemesis that has a top made of real 0.196" thick real Onyx Fantastico - Yeah you hear right - this in NO AIRBRUSH - this is a real 0.196" stone top on a chambered Mahogany body.

It is a gorgonized Nemesis with real Onyx Fantastico "Red Light" top. #1OF004
This one has a 3-layer pinstripe Black/Chrome-Hologram/Black.
The middle Gold pinstripe has some special hologram effect. Similar to an Abalone purfling but much more striking :)
I build those guitars in my custom shop in Germany and each guitar is an unique specimen as individual as the guitar player who will own it.

Some details:
Neck scale: 648mm (25.5" scale)
Fretboard radius: 14"
Fretboard made of Rosewood
Tuners: Wilkinson Locking Tuners
Nut: Wilkinson roller nut
Medium fret size 24 frets
Neck material: Hard Maple with Purple Heart stripes
Truss rod: Double action Truss Rod
Chambered Body: Light Guarea Cedrata Mahogany
Pickups: Boutique humbuckers made by Harry Haeussel in Germany
Potiknobs: My own Zerberus Design with Onyx caps
Each knob can split one humbucker into single coil (sounds increddible and makes the gutar extremely versatile)
Top is made of genuine precious Onyx Fantastico "Red Light".
The guitar weights 8 lb and is not heavier than most solid body guitars.
The top is 5mm (0.196") thick and stabilized with a fiberglass backing net.
The guitar come inside a luxury hard case that was built explicit for the Nemesis guitars.
Thanks to the the coil split, the gorgonized Nemesis is extremely versatile.
You can get everything from fat humbucker sounds to crunchy-percussive single-coil sounds.
I will attach a sample video.

First people find it hard to believe that the top really is made of stone and then they ask for the weight.
With only 8lb the gorgonized guitars are not heavier that most solid body electric guitars.
And as soon as people pay the guitar they are surprised about the fast attack and long and even sustain of the gorgonized guitars.
Most people find it very surprising how strong a top made of stone can resonate.

How does such a “gorgonized” Guitar sound?
Is the stone top only an optical gag or does it have any influence on the sound?
Stone and wood have a completely different micro structure.
On a wood top the sound waves move along the wood grain much stronger than to the side.
On a stone top the sound waves spread much more even in all directions making the whole top resonate with a long and even sustain.
This is because stone has a dense molecular crystal grid structure while wood has an open cell structure.
Mounting the bridge directly on the stone top with the strings going thru the Mahogany body allows a very strong attack and continuous and even sustain.
The gorgonized guitars offer distinct acoustic volume, even unplugged.
Played through an amp, they deliver a well balanced sound that stays clear even in high gain.
Even with their chambered bodies and stone tops, they aren’t prone to feedback.
The top at first touch might feel cold, but that changes after a few minutes and they don’t stick with their arm on the top like they use to do on a clear coated wooden top.
Another great benefit of the stone top is the fact that it is much more scratch and damage resistant than a wooden top.
Sustain and sustainability: Often rare and exotic lumber is used for the tops of standard electric guitars.
Those tops have to be dyed and painted to give them nice colors and appeal.
Stone as a material is completely different.
There is a whole universe of colors and structures waiting to become a top on a gorgonized guitar.
No need to cut down exotic forests to make a beautiful top.
No need to apply chemical dye and paint to make the top shine.
There are possibilities that are unimaginable on wood.
Stone can have fossils, crystals, crazy colors and it can be cut in any direction or even illuminated from the backside.
And each top is absolutely unique like a fingerprint.
If you have seen a nice quilted Maple you have seen ´em all.
Same with flame Maple.
Don´t get me wrong! I love quilted Maple and I have built many guitars with amazing quilted Maple tops.
But when I started building guitars with real Onyx top I never wanted to go back.
For most guitar players and builders it might be hard to swallow that bitter pill, but stone as a material simply is superior to wood.
But on the other hand it does not work without using wood for the body and neck material.
It is the combination of both worlds – wood and stone – that breathe life and soul into the gorgonized guitars.

The gorgonized Nemesis guitars come inside a luxury Zerberus hardcase and include a certificate.

Take care and all the best!
Cheers, Frank Scheucher
