The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hollow or semi-hollow construction adding organic resonance and three-dimensional depth. Natural acoustic properties allowing enjoyable unplugged practice. Exceptional recording characteristics capturing richness solid-bodies can't match. A tonal versatility spanning jazz, blues, rock, indie, and beyond.
Roll the tone knob back to 6 and play through a tube amp at moderate gain - the natural resonance of the hollow body adds a woody warmth and depth to your tone that will transform how you experience guitar. That's the sweet spot.
A semi-hollow or hollow guitar delivers warmth and tonal complexity that solid-body instruments simply cannot match. You feel the resonance in your hands and hear it through the amp as a richer, more three-dimensional tone. From Freddie King's blues to Larry Carlton's fusion to Noel Gallagher's anthems, these instruments add soul to every note. It's the kind of guitar that makes you play more musically.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Custom Filter’Tron™ Pickups
Voiced and studio tested in collaboration with Abbey Road sound engineers, these custom Filter’Tron™ humbucking pickups feature Alnico 5 magnets and a vintage-inspired voice that delivers quintessential Filter’Tron chime, balance, and articulation.Rumble Filter Circuit
Inspired by a classic circuit developed at Abbey Road Studios, and developed in collaboration with a team of the Studios’ sound engineers, the exclusive Rumble Filter circuit provides two additional voicings that make this guitar an exceptionally versatile tool for the studio or stage. Devised by Abbey Road’s in-house team in 1954, the original Rumble Filter was designed to remove excessive low-end frequencies and add clarity to the sound and became a key tool in the studio team’s pioneering work to improve the fidelity of recordings. Activated by a push/pull pot on each pickup’s Tone control, and controlled by a two-way rotary switch, the Rumble Filter offers what are essentially two different levels of high-pass filtering. This allows exceptional sonic flexibility without splitting the pickup coils, tightening up the bass response while allowing the higher frequencies to ring through, all while still retaining the full humbucking properties of the Filter’Tron pickups.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2sL2OyevO4
