This Cosmos features a Gold powder coated finish and upgraded Epoxy Basecoat and Shellac polished neck Finish, Flamed Maple neck with hemispherical fret-ends (also an up-grade) for 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 SCII in the neck and HB-2 in the Bridge. Both pickups balance each other out beautifull. You can read more about them below.
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 in its creation process and it offers you the opportunity to break new ground in your music."
Pickups:
SCII DESCRIPTION:
The most "zen" pickup I had under my fingers. It's so well ballanced and just a pleasure to play. Compressed jet open sounding – definition in the bass, nice midrange and silky highs. Twang, sparkel, mojo... what ever you call it - the Magnet Mount SC2 got it.
SCII SPECS:
regular output / volume
Even frequency response with slightly pushed mids
6000 Windings (6.2K Ohm output resistance)
43AWG / 0.56mm copper wire
Scatterwound
6x Neodymium Magnets
HB2 DESCRIPTION:
A very linear humbucker with everything you might ever need. Compressed jet open sounding – classic humbucker warmth that reminds me of a underwound PAF. Typical neodymium fatness without being muddy.

Even frequency response with slightly pushed mids
2x3.000 Windings (6K Ohm output resistance)
