Featuring a Solid Spruce top with Solid Mahogany back and sides, the Gemini’s Mahogany neck is matched to a Sonokeling rosewood fingerboard and bridge, to provide the best possible tonal transfer, fantastic projection and superb bass response. Presented in an authentic antique finish, with ivory-effect rosette and binding with a unique vintage white scratchplate the Gemini looks as good as it sounds, and the addition of the USA made Fishman Matrix VT1 pickup system is the icing on the cake of this fantastic instrument.
The instrument is supplied complete with a padded ‘Gemini’ carry bag. “The Gemini really is two guitars in one,” says Paul Brett “with heavier gauge strings you can get some truly sonorous baritone sounds. Alternatively, string it with normal gauge strings and use it in standard tuning!” Legendary studio engineer/producer Tom Newman (Tubular Bells) says “The Gemini opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the adventurous soul, tune it any way you fancy, and ideas come flooding in – it's a parlour sized Grand piano!”
