If two of your guitar buying criteria are "clarity" and "original", then Liquid Metal Guitars needs to be on your candidate list. The tele-styled Liquid Metal LMG "T" redefines the term clarity and sets a new standard for other manufacturers to chase. This amazing instrument has sustain and clarity unlike anything we've heard. The guitar is made from a solid block of 6061 T6 Aircraft Aluminum. You'd think that the guitar would be "tinny" but it isn't at all. While it can certainly "twang" with the best of them, it can also get down and dirty with deep mids for rock and roll and even blues. It is definitely a guitar you can use for a wide variety of styles.
The LMG T is hand made in Canada. It's aluminum body is matched with a hard rock maple neck and ebony fingerboard. The neck has a very light finish on it for an extremely smooth, fast, and natural feel. The pickups are Seymour Duncans and Seymour himself selected the proper pickup combination after being totally blown away by the sound of this instrument. He recommended a Phat Cat for the neck and a hot LIL '59 in the bridge and then put custom winds on those pickups for the perfect match. Seymour knows his pickups and this combaination helps give the LMG T its surprising versatility and vocal range.
