T-ULTIMATE NEOLITHIC I
ABOUT
The Dejawu T-Ultimate Neolithic No.1 is the most unique and rare guitar we could possibly build. It is the very first model (and the only T-Ultimate to become available for sale) in a very limited collection of stringed instruments. It is completely carved by hand from solid prehistoric maple, the best tone wood one could possibly wish for. The wood has a bright and clear tonal profile and produces a tight, focused sound with excellent note definition, making it ideally suited for genres that require precision and articulation. The exceptional age of the wood enhances all these characteristics significantly, producing a truly unique sound. When playing, you can just feel the 7500 years of (underground) sound and history resonating against your chest!
A unique combination of nutrients present in the soil have led to the wood to develop a stunning natural dark brown color. We applied multiple very thin layers of nitro-cellulose lacquer, carefully hand polished between applications to highlight the natural color and grain, while maintaining the sound characteristics of the wood. The body and neck are trimmed with a ‘young maple’ seven-ply binding, a classy contrast to its older cousin. Light as a feather, including the electronics and hardware, it only weighs a mere 2600 grams.

The tops, backs and necks of our guitars are completely carved by hand, using exclusively premium solid tone woods with outstanding tonal quality. Our guitars are built from one piece, allowing the wood to vibrate more freely, producing a more complex and dynamic sound.
The construction of our semi-acoustic guitars - all of which are equipped with a square center block at the bridge position - eliminates all possible feedback problems entirely while maintaining its acoustic properties. The center of the top maintains its original thickness, while the rest of the wood is carefully carved away by hand. In this way, there is no tension on the top and therefore there is no tendency to bend and/or deform over time. This method eliminates the need for a center block that covers the entire body length of the guitar needed for stability and to avoid feedback.
Every guitar we build has a completely unique look. The hand polished nitro-cellulose lacquer highlights the individual character of the grain, while maintaining the sound characteristics of the wood.

PICKUPS & WIRING
At our request, Harry Häussel built Double -TE ST-A5 pickups for both neck and bridge positions with original strat classic wire and alnico 5 magnets resulting in a very full, round and clear sound. We chose open pickup covers to keep the sound as clear as possible and finished them with the same old wood we used for this guitar. The Dejawu T-Ultimate Neolithic is equipped with a Free-Way 3x3-05 six-position toggle switch and a Push/Push tone pot. With the switch in position 1, 2 and 3 the pot switches from series humbuckers to inner single coils. In position 4, 5 and 6 it switches from parallel humbuckers to outer single coils.
