MUSE

Surely the most iconic and universal of all models

THE MUSE

Probably the most iconic and universal model, and therefore the most copied. Our aim is to offer you a new version that combines the best of vintage with today's innovations, and to make a top-of-the-range guitar accessible.

The Muse retains the sound and aesthetic codes of an authentic 1960, but with the character traits of our time.

First and foremost, its design is French and respects our planet as much as possible. Secondly, its components - wood, pickups, vibrato, mechanics, pickguard, paint and varnish - are of the highest quality.

Nothing less is needed to pay tribute to this legend that continues to inspire musicians to this day.

THE BODY

The body is made of quarter-sawn French spruce, carefully selected for its lightness, strength and 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.

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.

PICKUPS AND VIBRATO

Making an exceptional pickup is akin to haute couture. Each pickup is unique, because all its components are handcrafted! Our pickups are made exclusively by HEPCAT PICKUPS®, a French expert and pioneer in the manufacture of vintage pickups. We work hand in hand, and you can hear it!

We have a soft spot for the L series kit and its holy harmonics.

The cabling is inspired by "Memphis wiring" to allow you to sculpt your sound.

It's hard to find anything more high-end than the steel1060 vibrato handmade by Halon craftsman. It provides remarkable vibration transfer and makes the guitar much more responsive.

THE HEAD

The headstock veneer is the same color as the body ("matching headstock"). It's one of our signatures.

The tuners are Schaller, whose reputation is well established.

NATURAL PAINTS/VARNISHES AND PICKGUARD

Our 100% natural paints and varnishes offer intense colors and a light, supple finish for an instrument that breathes and lives. The finesse and delicacy of our recipes give our guitars an ageing and patina specific to the BERG® identity.

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.
