Tone-Tweaking Guitars

The Custom Collection 50 Deluxe Guitar Offers Four-Way Knob Switching

The Custom Collection 50 Deluxe guitar is an innovatively designed and engineered guitar, developed by none other than Michael Kelly Guitars, that is intended to empower guitar players to expand their expressive skills by allowing them to easily utilize an array of different tones. The guitar achieves this functionality by allowing for dual tone manipulation, with the volume and tone knobs able to move in four directions to explore different tonal dimensions.

This deluxe guitar is constructed of a solid alder material, and features a regular 22-fret wood fingerboard. It is dependent on a pair of Hot Rail humbucker pickups that offer the whole range of sounds.

Set to be made available for a price of $1,100, the Custom Collection 50 Deluxe guitar is an excellent option for instruments looking to explore new levels of musicianship and guitar expression.
