FIVE COOL THINGS I SAW AT NAMM | Michael Hodge
PRS SE ED SHEERAN COSMIC SPLASH LIMITED EDITION HOLLOWBODY BARITONE. This is one of the coolest and visually appealing Baritone guitars ever. It’ s a limited edition. It has a Maple top, Mahogany back and sides, Rosewood fingerboard, two humbucking pickups, and an additional Peizo pickup system. It features unique neck inlays, Play, Pause, Rewind, Fast-Forward, and Stop, and, of course, an original Ed Sheeran Cosmic Carpark piece of art on the front. 85 / 15“ S” humbuckers are a perfect match. It’ s a limited production and priced very reasonably!
It sells for $ 1,599.00. For more info go to: prsguitars. com
KIWARA KA-800G STUDIO MIC I ran across the KIWARA booth early at the show. They are new to NAMM. Several microphone companies are offering versions of famous microphones at significantly reduced prices. These guys are engineers and are smart. When I saw the KA-800G, I had to stop and check it out. This one is based on the Sony C-800G that sells for about 17K. There’ s a built-in cooling system, and they’ re known for some incredibly famous vocal performances in R & B and acoustic instruments. It looks great and could be a great addition to your studio.
The KA-800G sells for $ 1,295.00 USD. For more information, visit kiwaraaudio. com.
