‘The thing that makes my guitar so sick isn’t just the fact that I got to spec it out, it’s the fact that from the first time I picked it up it plays like a guitar I have owned my whole life. It already feels like home‘
Charlie Newbury
Versatility, performance, simplicity, tone and comfort
The Cygnus guitar typifies my ergonomic approach, favouring comfort in all play positions. The extended upper shoulder provides fantastic balance and tonal warmth, while a deep heal carve maintains the neck profile well in to the body joint. The Cygnus S was developed with artist Charlie, as a solid body evolution of my semi-hollow Cygnus. In addition to the added practicality of the solid chambered body, the ‘Newb’ spec also features a headless system, resin stabalised maple top and Lundgren M series pickups, with custom switching for easy tonal versatility.
Charlies spec makes for a very playable guitar, simple to use but hugely adaptive. It would make for a highly reliable instrument in both studio and live environments. However, as with all SBC guitars, if Charlie’s spec isn’t suitable to your needs this guitar can be completely tailored to suit your own needs.
