The Deimel Firestar blends refined elegance with playful modern style, reimagining classic offset design with sleek contours and Frank Deimel’s signature artistic touch.

It's treat whenever we have a Deimel guitar in the shop, as we just don't see enough of these incredibly well made and fun instruments. If you're looking for your next guitar to inspire you and take you in new directions look no further.

The handwound Deimel pickups - a JM-V in the neck and a JM-90 in the bridge - cover an impressive range of tones in their own rite. In the traditional sense, you've got sweet and clear neck pickup tones and more robust P90-like response in the bridge pickup. It's when you start to introduce the JAG pickup behind the bridge, activate the onboard Pickup LesLee circuit, and switch on the internally mounted body piezo disc that things start to get much more interesting. This is the calling card of a Deimel.

With the flip of a couple of slider switches, you can combine some of the most unique and inspiring tonal variations we've ever encountered in an electric guitar. The Pickup LesLee circuit on its own is worth the price of admission - lush, 3-dimensional Hammond B3 like warble unlike any effects pedal out there, all controllable via the thumbwheels on the upper left section of the guard. These Speed and Intensity controls give the player the ability to dial in tempo and mix, taking things from subtle to extreme. The LesLee is hard to turn off...it's addictive.

Opposite of the LesLee circuit you'll find the pickup selector toggle and a pair of slider switches - one that activates the body piezo and a second that engages the JAG pickup behind the bridge. For those swimming in experimental waters, you'll find these options wildly inspiring. Kicking the piezo in with an overdrive or fuzz and a louder amp yields some incredible harmonic feedback and resonant activity, while the JAG pickup allows for some great sympathetic tonal action behind the bridge. Let's also not forget the integration of a kill switch; this push-button style switch puts you in the express lane to Tom Morello Land.

If you've handled the likes of a Huber, Ronin, or Koll, the playability will feel right at home. These guitars are incredibly well dialed-in, with expert fretwork and neck shaping along with a truly remarkable level of fit and finish. The Platinum Silver Metallic and Magenta anodized guard are incredible in person - nothing else really presents like this. Top shelf hardware (Mastery, Gotoh) and high quality electronics (CTS, Bourns) also help maintain that high level of playing experience and function. No stone is left unturned with these guitars.

Even with an electric inventory as diverse and expansive as ours, Deimels stand in rarified air as perhaps the most forward-thinking and artisanal. If you can imagine it, Deimel can build it. This guitar is one of many ways they continue to prove that statement.

This guitar remains in excellent condition and was very well cared for.
