Description

Tempest HH LH

The Tech

The Tempest is designed around a set of custom hand wound Bare Knuckle humbucker pickups features Alnico V magnets to produce a fat, rich clean tone and punchy driven tone. These  humbuckers make this guitar super versatile and suitable for hot blues, hard rock, grunge, punk and old school metal, right through to progressive rock tones.

Three way switching and a push/pull tone pot give you distinct sound options for the ultimate in versatility. The traditional oil paper capacitors and CTS pots ensure a precision audio taper which gives you smooth, accurate response. Crank your guitar up to 10 and the volume swells all the way—no abrupt flattening to choke your playing style.

The Wood

The body and neck are made from hand picked ash and maple hardwoods. The fretboard is the ultra hard RichLite, which gives a smooth and stable platform that does not move with moisture or temperature variations.  The woods are carefully selected for their tone and resonance, which allows for a surprising amount of sustain.

It’s all about the finish

At Munson Guitars we always prefer to use finishes that leave the raw grain visible, so you can see the beauty of the wood. The ash body is finished in a unique MangoMango natural stain over dark grain, before adding several coats of traditional nitrocellulose that will allow the finish to age gracefully. The maple neck, which includes a dual action truss rod and contrasting dark walnut skunk strip, is protected and enhanced by traditional nitro which delivers a hard wearing, yet soft satin feel for a super fast action.

Proudly British

The Tempest is designed and crafted in Britain by our luthier and is available as part of our ex-demo stock.

Go on, you know you want one…

Built to inspire, the Tempest modern is a versatile instrument that will quickly become your go-to guitar.
