    – Press Release

    Michael Kelly has introduced a range of new guitar models for 2006. Included is the Patriot Vintage and Valor Custom.

    The Patriot Vintage not only has the soul of a collectable classic guitar, but they have given it the vintage look. The pristine solid black or pure white finish is contrasted with special distressed-look hardware. The pickups in this instant classic also exude a tonal quality usually only found on ancient pickups. The Select Wound pickups are overwound to exacting specifications using the same USA components that are at the heart of many of the most sought after vintage pickups. The Patriot Vintage brings other classic attributes like set-neck construction, 24 ¾” scale, Grover tuners and triple binding.

    The Valor Custom is the premier version of our double cutaway. The all maple top is deeply cut for a stunning appearance and a big tone. You get a flame maple top and ebony fingerboard only on the Custom. The Select Wound Custom pickups are step number one on a path to tonal nirvana.
    These pickups are uniquely wound for an especially high output.

    Need a full and rich distortion tone? The Valor Custom will deliver. Switch to clean tone however and it will again knock your socks off. Need some more tone? Thanks to two push-pull pots you can switch each pickup from the huge humbucker tone to a cutting single coil tone. Speaking of tone, check out the TonePros wrap-around bridge. There is a reason you find this as standard equipment on guitars at 3 or 4 times the price. This is simply the best bridge on the market for sound (if that matters to you).

    With anything that sounds this darn good you will want to be able to play all of the notes. The Valor Special has a unique set-in-neck construction. This tight fit neck provides maximum tone, but also is cutaway to provide full access and a smooth feel. It plays like a dream and sounds unbelievable. Select from five rich color option. The Valor Custom is available in Amber, Black Fade, Lava Red, Walnut and gloss Natural.
