Michael Kelly 1964 Black Hint Electric Guitar

Construction

The guitar is made up of an Alder body which is in keeping to the strat styling on this guitar but has a Quilted Maple top to make this guitar look as good as it sounds! Fitted to the body is a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard keeping it as traditional as they can with the added modern twist of the HSS pickup configuration and flory rose term with a locking nut.

Pickups

Bridge: Aggressive in its own right, the Rockfield FAT ASS bridge pickup was designed for a specific group players in mind. The players that have those crazy super acrobatic playing styles that we all stare at in amazement. The ones at the gig that make everything look so effortless and easy. As you watch in amazement you say, “Man I need to practice” this pickups custom designed bobbins house larger pole pieces that help transfer string vibration from pulls, bends and leads so the user gets less tonal drop off and better articulation and note definition. The Rockfield FAT ASS has a well balanced overall tone that is mean and bold with major sustain, huge bottom end and cutting mids and highs that jump out at you. Each note is full and rings true from this pickup while you take advantage of a look that is that just plain mean and in your face.

Neck & Bridge: In the neck position you have a Rockfield Fat Stacked single coil pickup which allows you to split the coil between single or hum bucking mode whether you are wanting that “Twangy” strat sound or full warm hum bucking sound you have both options! Paired with a Standard Rockfield Fat Single single coil in the middle this configuration opens up a mass of tonal variety for any style you may need.
