A Starplayer with a Strong Character in the Range
The Starplayer CBR stands out as a distinct variant within the Starplayer family, retaining the codes that made it successful (silhouette, f-hole, refined finishes), while bringing a warmer and more powerful identity thanks to its mahogany construction and stunning flamed maple top. Innovations like the Diamond Prestige Tremola and Flextone+ enhance its versatility and modernity, without abandoning the "classic revisited" spirit unique to the brand.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
With its glued-in neck featuring a Medium D profile, 22 jumbo frets, and electronics designed to cover multiple registers, this electric guitar is aimed at both intermediate and advanced guitarists seeking an expressive and reliable instrument on stage. It excels in rock, blues, indie, pop, and any style requiring a lively sound, great pick dynamics, and quick variations via the 5-position selector and vibrato.
Sound Characteristics
The combination of a mahogany body and flamed maple top provides a very musical balance: mahogany favors rich mids, warmth, and generous sustain, while maple adds definition, attack, and better chord clarity. The chambered construction (with f-hole) adds extra resonance and "breathing," making the playing more responsive.
Regarding pickups, the Domino P90 in the neck position delivers an open, vibrant, and articulate tone, ideal for expressive rhythms and touch-sensitive leads. The GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge adds body, power, and a denser response, perfect for riffs that need to remain full and present. The Flextone+ 5-position wiring, combined with 1 volume and 1 tone, allows quick switching from warm, rounded tones to sharper, more cutting sounds while maintaining excellent level and character consistency.
