The Power of Electric

Enjoy everything that the electric world has to offer. With an electric violin of this quality, you don't just have a violin. With an easy adjustment, your tone will adopt the gritty wail of an electric guitar. Suddenly, you have an instrument that will fit seamlessly into a rock band. In fact, you have access to all genres. There are endless possibilities, with treble and bass controls, a blendable two-pickup design, and master volume control. The Piezo pickup is in the body of the instrument, and a bridge pickup too, each with impressive and distinct tones which you can then blend. From the bridge comes a bright, more electric sound that really picks up on the subtle nuances of your playing. The pickup in the body carries the rich, warm quality of a violin. Blend these to make your perfect balance.
