We brought out a few new colours in the beginning of 2017, and this one – the Sunrise – has quickly become one of our most popular colour choices ever. Well, I can understand why. There is something in that earthy tone and soft gradient that is at the same time exciting and uplifting, yet timeless.
On the tech side of things, I want to mention one detail that doesn’t exactly show in the photos or spec listing – the neck pickup tone control has a push/pull function, that gives you the famous “Peter Green Tone”. Technically speaking it is an out-of-phase sound, that is especially useful in a guitar with separate volume controls for the two pickups, enabling you to tweak the sweet spot of the out-of-phase effect perfect to your liking.
