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.'

The CC Telecaster '50 are scatter wound offering all the traditional vintage tone and clarity but without the noise!The pickups are extremely well matched, without the usual drop in volume when switching to the neck pickup. The bridge pickup sound is bright without being shrill. The neck pickup is fat and warm without being muddy. Those pickups have smooth attack, glassy warmth with full sweet sustain. A classic 50's style sound with a classy bell tone.
