Unprecedented versatility
to inspire your creativity.
A Somnium is everything you love about traditional guitar design: wood bodies with beautiful finishes, premium hardware, hand-built necks that feel great in your hands, and rich tones with amazing sustain no matter pickups you use. You form an instant connection because they are the best of what an electric guitar can be, and you can feel and hear that the first time you play one.
But what if there was more? What if that guitar could somehow produce the warm tones of dual humbuckers, the clarity and crunch of triple single-coils, the twangy brightness of a T-style classic or the rich full tones of P-90 soapbars? Do you have to buy 4 or more guitars to have those tones, or can one guitar do it all, and do it well?
Somnium Guitars are professional-grade instruments with the amazing ability to change pickups anytime you want, in seconds. Not simulated pickups, not digital processing, just real pure pickup tone with traditional controls. You can use passives, actives, any brand, any style, two or three at a time. Have a world of creative expression at your fingertips like never before. It won't replace your current guitars, but it will likely become your #1 go-to for creating music. Don't take our word for it; just look at some of the pros who are Somnium owners:
