An instrument with a unique resonance and unequalled sustain

Behind its apparent simplicity the ONE PIECE MASTER III is an incredible feat of engineering.

The "One-Piece Master III" is crafted from a carefully selected highly flamed ash slab, a very special wood that deserves unique treatment. To get the best from this outstanding wood, the "One-Piece Master III" is carved out in one single piece. The uncompromising construction method has been pushed to its limits with a "through body" fingerboard that literally becomes the soundboard of the instrument. The concave body and soundboard of the "One-Piece Master III" create a reverberation chamber that gives the instrument unequalled sustain and a unique resonance.

Incredibly hard and dense, this flamed ash slab is an outstanding musical piece of wood offering a very nice balance of brightness and warmth. The maple wood of the "through body" fingerboard is prized for its bright tone and great sustain.

The "One-Piece Master III" is an astonishing engineering achievement that breaks with convention at every step of the construction process.

Beyond its technical excellence, the "One-Piece Master III" features some of the finest hardware ever seen on an electric guitar.

The strings rest on a woolly mammoth fossil horn nut. Softer than bone and pre-ban elephant ivory, it renders a mellow tone that fits perfectly with the natural tone of the "One-Piece Master III".

The bridge is shaped from a Damascus steel billet. Initially used by blacksmiths for manufacturing luxury blades and swords, Damascus steel is prized for its distinctive patterns and incredible density. Its use for the bridge gives the "One-Piece Master III" a precision and dynamic that defy comparison.

The 3 knobs are shaped and finished like pieces of jewelry. They feature the unmistakable Sauvage guitars "angle-cut triangle", a symbol of perfect balance. With its angles cut, the triangle becomes a hexagon in reference to the French roots of the brand.

The "One-Piece Master III" features spectacular pickup tops cut from solid blocks of Fortal. Originally developed for use in the aerospace industry, Fortal is known for its high resistance to corrosion. Beneath the outstanding tops the "One-Piece Master III" is powered by a custom wound pickup set.

The painstakingly sculpted flamed ash body is a piece of art in itself, and has been kept as natural as possible.

The top and the headstock are finished in a mesmerizing aquamarine blue that brings the "One-Piece Master III" an incomparable modern-edged vintage spirit.

The Aquamarine Blue was used by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche on the iconic "356", first car ever made by Porsche. The Porsche 356 was made famous by James Dean, Janis Joplin, Paul Newman, Steve mcQueen and is still one of the most collectible vintage cars of all time.
