Mika Tyyskä:Qian green burst

This is it. A new Qian arrived from Ben Reuters. I can honestly say that this is the guitar I've been always searching for. It feels and sounds absolutely perfect. The neck is unbelievable. And it even looks delicious!

Korina wood on the body, for big and warm tone.
Comes with three pickups. A more strat like approach this time. Duncan Custom for the bridge is a straight humbucker, but can be splitted. Middle (Vintage rails) and Neck (Cool rails) pickups are small sized humbucers but with more like single-coil kind of vintage tones.

It the new number one guitar for Mr. Fastfinger. And yes, it is green!

Qian - green burst
A new variation of the Qian model is coming out. This model has been produced to the specifications of Mika Tyyskä alias Mr. Fastfinger. So we will hear some stuff of that guitars soon on guitarshredshow.

This time we used Korina wood as on the Qian7 for the body and not ash, which is used on the original Qian. Thus the sound gets a bit wamer. Of course the guitar has to be green, but this time with a nice burst finish.

For a natural and versatile sound we installed a humbucker in the bridge and single coil sized humbucker in the middle and neck position. So you get nice sounds for hardrock riffs and also smooth blues soli. The resonance switch can be used to smoothen the sound more. A special feature is the pull and push function of the volume knob, which can be pulled to split the bridge humbucker.
