Michael Kelly Patriot Limted Electric Guitar (Bubinga)
For a twist, MK gave the already superior Patriot Custom an extra dose of "Michael Kelly Magic" to create the "Patriot Limited". The Patriot Limited features figured exotic wood tops in distinctive burled Bubinga.
With all of the obvious visual appeal, it's important to remember that Michael Kelly guitars are first and foremost, "Built on Sound", and the Patriot Limited is certainly true to Michael Kelly's mantra. The tone screams out in crisp growling heaps - in part thanks to the new Rockfield SWC pickups. The Rockfield SWCs are constructed with USA magnets and wire commonly found in the best known pickups for versatile tone ranging from full and biting twang when in split-coil mode to clean gnarly and grungy grind in full "bucker" mode - (both pickups are also coil tapped). Other features include an adjustable Tune-O-Matic bridge string-through the body feature, which gives the Limited model a slightly darker tone than its Patriot Custom brother.
The all-new Michael Kelly Patriot Limited is sure to please the ears and the eyes of even the most discriminating player and rival many instruments costing a fair chunk more.
