In-Stock | Carneglia Custom Shop Sublime Electric Guitar - "Predator"

The Carneglia Custom Shop Sublime “Predator” stands as a fierce embodiment of precision, power, and modern design — a union of raw tonal authority and elegant craftsmanship. Drawing from Daniel Carneglia’s relentless pursuit of sonic balance and playability, the Predator channels unmistakable attitude through refined engineering and visual intensity.

Carved from South American Mahogany, the body anchors each note with commanding warmth and sustain, offering punchy mids and a rich harmonic depth ideal for expressive performance. Finished in a striking “Black Splatter Predator Blood” Thin Polyurethane, the surface exudes both menace and artistry — a dynamic pattern that captures motion and aggression in still form. The seamless finish across the top and back preserves the wood’s resonance while embracing the guitar’s darkly modern identity. Shine a blacklight on this beast and see the green glow in the dark!

The Spanish Cedar neck and South American Mahogany body delivers an exceptional balance of strength and responsiveness, perfectly complementing the guitar's acoustic character. Featuring a Multi-Scale design, the Predator delivers ergonomic comfort, enhanced intonation, and balanced tension across every string for uncompromising playability. Topped with a Master Grade Ebony fretboard, its glassy smooth texture enhances articulation and clarity. Custom “Predator S” acrylic markers cut through the darkness with subtle menace, guiding the hand across 22 frets of Jescar 47104 stainless steel precision. With a scale length of 26.25” on the bass side and 25.5” on the trebble side, plus a hand-cut TUSQ nut, the neck feels fast, fluid, and unrelenting under any playing style.

Every hardware choice serves performance and reliability. The Hipshot Multiscale bridge ensures flawless intonation and ergonomic comfort, offering precise tension balance across the strings. Hipshot Locking Open-Gear tuners in matte black complete the unified aesthetic — stealthy, efficient, and built for stage endurance. Black metal knobs provide tactile, resistance-perfect control over every tonal detail.

Under the hood, the Predator houses a carefully tuned blend of classic and modern voices. The DiMarzio True Velvet pickups in the neck and middle deliver articulate single-coil sparkle with focused mids, while the Seymour Duncan APH-1 bridge humbucker unleashes rich, vintage warmth and harmonically complex drive. Combined with CTS Superpots (550k), a Bumblebee capacitor, and Switchcraft components, the signal path remains pure, dynamic, and touch-sensitive — a precise translation of every nuance.

Complete with a Carneglia hardshell case and official Certificate of Authenticity, the Sublime Predator is not just an instrument — it’s a declaration of intent. Designed for those who play with conviction, it embodies the intersection of artistry, aggression, and absolute sonic mastery.
