The original idea behind the Starlux was to design an instrument with a 1950s flavour offering more contemporary tones.

The basswood body is made of a semi hollow construction for improved body resonance, the bone nut and retro style vibrato are helping to define a rich and lively tone which immediately becomes apparent when playing the instrument unplugged.

The body outlines were designed to perfectly match the playing position and its semi hollow construction helps to keep it lightweight.

The Classic Twin humbuckers are offering a wide range of possibilities crossing the boundaries of the conventional retro style guitars. The neck is a 3-piece hard maple construction for enhanced stability and tone, the fingerboard is made of Rosewood with the Magneto Starlux inlays. A roller saddle bridge is paired to the vibrato in order to enhance its tuning stability.

The new Starlux is available in finishes such as Candy Apple Red, Sunset Gold and Midnight Silver.

The great breakthrough of the short scale bass happened in the early 60s as we all know. The recent years have shown a greater interest from bass player for this style of instrument. This is not only related to body and neck sizes since a 30” scale bass also has a very distinctive sound. There is also a clear evidence that shorter scales do not mean less bass frequencies, it is all the opposite in this case.The great breakthrough of the short scale bass happened in the early 60s as we all know.

Magneto® guitars developed the new Ruby Bass with the intention to provide the musicians with a new form of aesthetics and tone. The choice of pickups and their placements have played a major role in the fat low end tones that you can get from this new instrument.

The body is made of Basswood and the neck is made of a layered maple construction in order to guarantee its stability. The Rosewood fingerboard is adorned with the newly designed Magneto Ruby inlays. A bone nut will ensure best tonal response coupled with a classic vintage type bridge on the other end. The tone is controlled by a volume, a general tone and a balance pot in order to get the best tonal sweetspot depending on your amplifier setup. The New Magneto® MAP-1 and MAJ-1 pickups have been designed to capture this unique and complexe sound architecture.

The Ruby Bass will be available as of May 2026 in finishes such as Ruby Red Metallic, Olive Whisper and Vintage White.
