NEOLITHIC COLLECTION

 
Outstanding wood quality, amazing sound, stunning natural color, exceptional age, true craftsmanship and a great story. It all comes together in our latest master project; the Dejawu Neolithic Collection. A limited collection of rare and exclusive guitars created with 7500-year-old maple, straight from the Neolithic Age!
— Derk Jan Lievers & Wu Dongming
 
 

Currently, the collection consists of three semi acoustic models. The T-Ultimate, E-Special, and L-Premium. All are completely carved by hand from solid prehistoric maple, the best tone wood one could possibly wish for. This wood (maple) 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 of the wood. The bodies and necks are trimmed with a ‘young maple’ seven-ply binding, a classy contrast to its older cousin.
