The Magneto Eric Gales RD3 Signature US-8400EG is a standout guitar for a standout guitarist! Eric Gales is a blues phenomenon, and this special guitar, designed in conjunction with the artist, gives players access to a great take on the classic S-Style instrument.
Gales was born and raised in Memphis. He learnt to play guitar from 4-years old, left-handed, playing his guitar upside down. This is a well deserved signature guitar that is not only eye-catching but really delivers on the sound front too!
The body of the guitar is constructed from basswood, making for a guitar with a lightweight feel and resonant tone. The body is finished in a Sunset Gold finish and hosts a gold pickguard adding to the guitar's eye-catching aesthetic.
Paired to the body is a hard rock, roasted maple neck carved into a highly playable medium C profile with a tapered neck heel. Topping the neck is a East Indian rosewood fingerboard which has a modern 12" radius, set with 22 frets and adorned with dot inlays and Eric's signature inlay at the 12th fret area.
Powering the guitar is a set of Magneto Metro-Pole Custom EG1 pickups, wired through a 5-way switch and simple master volume and tone controls. This setup gives massive amounts of versatility and sure to please players wanting classic S-style sounds.
Other appointments include a Gold Gotoh vintage style trem with steel plate saddles, gold Goth tuners, and custom engraved "RawDawg' neckplate and gold string retainers.
The guitar comes complete with a gigbag.
