Michael Kelly Enlightened Classic 50 Amber

The Enlightened Classic 50 utilises a special tone wood on the body - red cedar. Red Cedar is both lightweight and highly resonance, while also being much lighter than many tonewoods. Aluminium instead of steel is used for the bridge and control plate to lighten things up further and to enhance tone.

The pickups have been custom-voiced to perfectly match the Enlightened treatment. These deliver a classic tone and, thanks to the Quad Mod electronics modification, you get 4 tone settings instead of the typical 3. The Enlightened Classic 50 is a lightweight guitar, but with all of the other carefully considered design details, it is big on tone and performance.

Features

• Enlightened Treatment - including special wood, thinner design, etc.
• Aluminium Bridge and Control Plate for added weight relief
• Special Strap-Button Placement, for better balance
• Modern C neck, what many would call medium to medium-thin and the shape is a really smooth and comfortable round shape. The thin profile makes it faster than the typical vintage neck, while the carefully contoured C-shape makes it comfortable for extended playing

Note: Though a part of the Enlightened series, this guitar doesn't have body chambers, and weighs in at 3.3kg.
