A "métisse" instrument for creating and exploring new sound territories
This tool of expression, for that's what we're talking about, is a new playground for musical exploration.
La Métisse was born of a fantasy held by the formidable musician Eddie Purple, a multi-instrumentalist with an extraordinary groove. The result was hours of discussion and work to move from the abstract to the concrete. Several trials later, the Métisse saw the light of day in its timeless "Offset body" form.
An instrument designed to suit the nomadic life of the professional musician (showcases, small-scale gigs, last-minute rehearsals on the other side of town...), it's also a formidable instrument with an incredible sound. Thanks to its specific playing technique, it opens up new fields of expression and takes you into hitherto unexplored sonic realms. Groovy as can be, the Métisse is part of our Groovy Line range. And like our other guitars, it is eco-designed.
As with the body, our neck is torrefied in-house. This stabilizes the wood and enhances its sound quality.
The C-profile is generous, in the style of the late 50s. It is both present and comfortable, ideal for playing all night long without tiring.
Its radius is 9.5mm for optimum adjustment.
For the first time, a Précision Bass 72 or 62 semi pickup sits alongside a strat 69 or L series double pickup.
Excellence continues with the Custom Wrapmaster steel1060 bridge, handmade by Halon craftsmen. It provides remarkable vibration transfer and further enhances the guitar's resonance.
The bass strings (E and A) pass through the body for greater note length.
The tuning machines are Schaller, whose reputation is well established.
Our pickguards are made from a patented bio-composite material.
This material, in addition to being natural, gives us an elegant and graphic style that is unique and immediately recognizable.
THE MÉTISSE
The Métisse is a new type of instrument. It's the fusion of a guitar and a bass. A desire present in the ideosphere of the guitarist secretly in love with the bass and convinced that "Mixing favors intelligence".This tool of expression, for that's what we're talking about, is a new playground for musical exploration.

THE BODY
The body is made of quarter-sawn French spruce, carefully selected for its lightness, strength and measured resonance coefficient. We roast it to give it the maturity found in much older guitars.THE HANDLE
The neck is made of French maple. It is selected for its mechanical and acoustic qualities. The fingerboard is French walnut, but not just any walnut! It's dense, dark-veined and patterned.As with the body, our neck is torrefied in-house. This stabilizes the wood and enhances its sound quality.
