Robin Stummvoll is a luthier based in Kassel Germany. He has become known for his own unique style of building high-end and sustainable custom stringed instruments. His guitars are built from powder coated sheet metal and locally sourced native timbres. The Cosmo is a 25.5" scale electric guitar with freely movable magnetic pickups, which can be placed anywhere on the sheet metal body. This allows you to get all kinds of highly useable and / or experimental tones out of your guitar. Included are a single volume and blend pot for the utmost flexibility and fine tuning of your guitars tone. Robin winds many distinct styles of pickups. This way if you ever wanted to try out a different wind-pattern, you can easily unplug your current pickup and plug the new one in. No soldering is necessary.

This Cosmo features a Surf Green powder coated finish and upgraded lightly figured, Shellac French Polished Maple neck with semi-hemispherical fret-ends. This style of fretting gives you an overall nice and rounded feel which allows you to play across the entire width of the fingerboard. The frets also have hidden tangs, so they will never protrude or feel sharp from the sides. The pickups in this Cosmo are Verso's SC-2 "Allround" model in the neck position and HB-1 "Transparent" model in the bridge. The SC-2 delivers a rich and open dynamic response that compresses nicely with gain. The SC-2 also features great low-end presence with a lively upper mid-range. The HB-1 is a medium-low output Humbucker which balances nicely with the SC-2. It has an acoustic-like top-end with a full and responsive low-end. This is a great pickup option for those who like Filtertrons or other hum-bucking pickups that give you a near single coil like response; but of course without the hum.

The build quality of each Verso is top-notch with impeccable fret-work and perfectly dialed in setups.

From Verso:

"Cosmos core feature is its freely movable and easily exchangeable pickup system. Sounds complex, but it’s wonderfully simple: The magnetic pickups stay on the sheet metal surface by themselves. Find almost infinite sound colors by moving the pickups!

 Without making any compromises in sound, playability and ergonomics, the instrument is reduced to the maximum. The simple construction of Cosmo makes it possible for me to produce custom instruments in Germany at a reasonable price.

 With Cosmo you have a sustainably produced electric guitar in your hands. You can actively participate of its creation process and it offers you the opportunity to break new ground in your music."
