Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is excited to bring yet another boutique, high-end, and handmade guitar builder into our lineup of killer gear. Iconic Custom Guitars have been faithfully recreating classic signature guitars of some of our favorite guitar heroes. This Dark Side strat is an homage to the one and only, David Gilmour.
Breath, breath in the air. Don't be afraid to care... about having amazing tone with this faithful recreation of Gilmour's classic guitar! Designed to be able to accurately duplicate that sound, the experts at Iconic Custom Guitars have nailed this one on the head! Everything from feel to tone hits it right on the mark. A handmade and boutique version of the guitar has shaped our exploration of the dark side of the moon.
The Manlius Dark Side pickups can handle distortion with no problem. They definitely have a vintage vibe to them and they aren't going to hit the front end of your amp super hard, but they have more juice than standard single coils that were being made in the 60's. Whether you're looking to make ethereal and sound-scaping tones or ripping some lead solos, you'll be able to get a balanced and tight response out of every string on either of the 3 pickups.
...And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon!
