Warwick Corvette Taranis Bass, Black In Celtic mythology Taranis was the God of Thunder who was worshipped in Gaul and Britain. Taranis is also the name of a thunderous Warwick bass that is worshipped by bassists who want a powerful tone and a dramatic presence.For many years players from all over the world would order custom 4-string Warwicks that were tuned (from low to high) B, E, A, and D. The Taranis 4-string comes standard with that same tuning. The passive MEC MM and SC pickups deliver a gutteral tone that is both in your face and present in the mix. This beast is not delicate at all.The swamp ash body is lightly sandblasted to remove the softest parts of the wood. This process creates a killer texture and appearance that highlights the grain. You have to see it in person to appreciate the visual impact of this unique Warwick finish.

Gibson Acoustic Robert Johnson L-1 Acoustic Guitar, Vintage Sunburst The haunting, timeless sound of the man whose genius has inspired generations of blues artists has been captured in the special signature edition Gibson Robert Johnson L-1 Acoustic Guitar. Everything about this guitar has been painstakingly re-created, from the shallow L-1 body design to the 25″ scale. The authentic ebony bridge has the original, beautifully carved pyramid wings and the soundhole diameter remains at 3-3/4″. Even period-correct hardware is used. The only modern refinement to the design is the tasteful inclusion of Robert Johnson's signature inlaid with mother-of-pearl in the fingerboard. Gibson includes a hardshell case with your Robert Johnson Guitar.
Customer Review: A delightful guitar
This is a very sweet, lightweight, inspiring, small-bodied guitar. My other guitars are a Gibson J-45 and a Martin 000-28vs, and this one gets, at least, equal playing time. It is a real joy to play. The tone is tight, airy, and focused. Even played hard with a pick it never becomes muddled; it is, after all, a Gibson.
