Outstanding Sound Quality, Features,and Performance
A comprehensive, innovative and patented new design for electric guitar and bass guitar that starts with the instrument’s core fundamentals - neck structure, neck profile, neck joint, electronics and more - taking sound quality, playability and function to higher levels than ever before.
We’ve made great strides in Sound Quality, Feel, Playability and Value, reconsidering every detail in light of these factors. Our designs and manufacturing methods are a composite of many factors, some major and some relatively insignificant. And, when taken as a whole, the total feel and responsiveness, the way they play and sound; it goes beyond the standards that have ruled the industry for years.
Structural
Innovations:
•A
patented new way to join neck and body that actually improves
tone, timbre, attack, dynamic response and structural
integrity - the
Compression-Set
Captive Neck Joint.
•An
improved neck structure enhances tone, timbre, attack,
dynamic response, structural integrity and strength.
•A new neck profile improves efficiency, accuracy and
response and reduces fatigue.
•A special treatment and finishing process provides a
superior, “broken in” feel to the neck.
•Better pitch and tuning stability is achieved with improved
string geometry, structural considerations and by using the
finest components.
•New pickup and circuitry designs dramatically improve tone
and provide greater versatility.click here
•Precision craftsmanship, fanatical attention to detail and
premium woods and components provide a consistent high
level of quality from instrument to instrument.
•Designed to satisfy the most discriminating professionals,
live and in the studio.
We
believe these differences are significant enough,
that your playing will improve as will your sound!
"In the last few years
I have played U.S. Masters guitars on recordings alongside some of Nashville's
best guitar players including Keith Urban, Dan Huff, and Joe Don Rooney
from Rascal Flatts. The guitars always hold there own in tone and playability
every time I pull them out. The personal service from Dave and Dick
has always been a great plus, and it's nice to know the people who are
actually making your guitar. I highly recommend these instruments because
I have actually used them in themost critical sessions and up against
the best many times now, and they have never let me down."

By combining
the most impressive attributes of existing neck designs with our rock
solid, innovative, new Ever-Tru neck structure and profile, we enhanced
the qualities that make great guitars and basses: attack; sustain; no
dead spots; thick, full-bodied tone everywhere on the neck; an intuitive,
consistent feel. It’s super responsive - alive in your hands.
Our innovative, patented Compression-Set Captive Neck Joint enhances
tone, timbre, resonance, attack, sustain and structural integrity and
allows virtually unimpeded access to the entire fingerboard. It provides
the advantages of neck-thru sustain and upper neck access with a richness
of resonances and ease of service a neck-thru can’t provide.
We created a fundamental structure that underlies every model of guitar
and bass we make that consistently gives them the exceptional acoustical
qualities absolutely necessary to a great instrument.The design is without
compromise for tuning stability, even under aggressive playing with
lots of bending (including bends behind the nut) - even with aggressive
use of a tremolo.
We enlisted the knowledge and talents of one of the world’s most
foremost pickup designers and innovators to develop a variety of proprietary
pickup sets to our unique specifications and qualifications - pickups
devoid of irritating sonic artifacts, pickups that enhance and glorify
the exceptional resonant qualities of our instruments.
We rethought every detail of the instrument from head to toe, without
regard to tradition or conventional practices to determine if there
isn’t a better way to do things to give serious, accomplished players
the best guitar or bass we possibly can. And we make our instruments
with minute tolerances and a degree of consistency very uncommon in
the industry. You can order with confidence that the feel and sound
will be very much the same from one guitar or bass to the next.
We developed a way to deliver instruments loaded with substantial features and advantages, completely made with the finest American components - at prices well below other quality manufacturers.
The art of playing consumes body and soul. The complex interaction and precision of mental and physical actions make it a highly athletic experience. World class athletes use technically advanced equipment and techniques to achieve the greatest muscular, skeletal, and mental efficiencies. Shoes, skies, skates, clothing, cycles, clubs, gloves; significant advances that improve performance are constantly being developed. So, why are musicians, truly skilled athletes, limiting themselves with equipment designed in the 1950's? No one really gave them a choice until now...
We designed our neck so your skeleton and muscles will work efficiently, the way they were designed to work. We designed it to reduce the number and diversity of different motions required to play the guitar. Fewere, less complex, and more efficient motions make for more efficient mental activity so more of your mind can concentrate on the music; on what to play, not how to play it. Exertion, speed, precision, strength, stamina, agility, quickness: get it with U.S. Masters' Performance Designed Ever-Tru Neck: a sigificant and substantial advancement for guitarists and bassists desigring their best possible performance; a neck that removes your limitations, relieves fatigue, and helps you make better music.
