Valhalla '52/'56 T Hybrid Relic
​
'The guitar is ‘transparent’, especially in the mid range with a balanced tone in all positions... perfectly cut through the rest of the band. Using a thick u neck profile gives it a broader bigger sound in the lower range – ...is massive. Despite its size the neck is very comfortable, making the whole guitar feel completely balanced. Great sound with a vintage look makes for a fantastic instrument that has become the main stay in my arsenal.'
