Paradis red Strat 1985

this is the legendary guitar we made for Mark Knopfler – but we never reached him.

its somehow the bridge between de e-guitar world that started in the 50ies and our sound as it manifested in the Avalon and more even in the Spuler – Paradis.

its a great strat in the first place. and it has typical and untypical Paradis features:

• piezo pickups
• Polydistortion – this is very rare, I only built that board into about 4 guitars.
• a hex filter for the piezo where each string is a bit differently filtered
• a push button (radio button as they call it) for each pickup (Mid, Bridge, Piezo) where one releases the other but you can press several an mix the pickups!
• Neutricon output – could be transformed into a 13pin rather easily
