This is a Press Release
I played one of these at a friend’s. It was nice looking and sounding. I think it went out of tune a lot, though. Very easy to play and looks like a million bucks, well a thousand. Wish I could find a leftie version.
I doubt the wood covers would make a difference. Metal covers only do because they intercept the magnetic field from the magnets, but wood is not magnetic…obviously.
Has anyone played one of these? I would think the wooden pickup covers would dampen the tone.
