Description

The Metropolis' lightweight body will provides a comfortable and versatile instrument what will lighten the load off your bacl, while allowing a wide variety of splendid and resonant tones at the flick of a switch.

The heart of the Metropolis-S' tone can be best described as 'percussive and detailed'. A newly designed matched set of single coiled pickups labelled as 'C-Spin' exemplifies classic bell-like tone, being recognisable from single coil-equipped instruments originating from the 1960s.
