Presenting the all new Magneto Guitars Eric Gales Signature Model RD3, this one in Sunset Gold.
If you've been to one of the shows we've done with guitarist Eric Gales at our venue (The Sanctuary Music & Events Center), you know that he's one of our favorite performers, and one of the most gifted guitarists out there.
2022 marks 11 years of collaboration between Eric Gales and MAGNETO® Guitars, and will also be a turning point for Eric, as his new album "Crown" produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith was released in January. The new album features original songs written by Eric Gales, LaDonna Gales, James House, Tom Hambridge, Keb Mo, Josh Smith, Joe Bonamassa. As we speak the Eric Gales Band is already back on stage touring through the USA and hopefully soon all over the world.
MAGNETO® guitars has produced several custom versions of the Eric Gales “RawDawg” guitar in the past years, and have always worked on the same type of body and neck combinations and they have tried to add a new feature at every new rendition making it a high grade instrument with a solid price tag.
In early 2020, they started to talk about the idea of producing a new Signature guitar that would be made available to a broader audience. They kept on talking with Eric and tried many options and they have also developed specific parts for that guitar.
An important part of the plan was to develop a specific range of single coil pickups that would have the dynamics and great midrange response which play an important role in Eric’s guitar tone.
The MAGNETO Eric GALES RD3 features a basswood body as well as a roasted maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The first models will be available in Sunset Gold finish and will sport a Gold mirror pickguard and backplate, a Gotoh tremolo, Gotoh tuners as well as the new Magneto Metro-Poles EG1 pickups.
We are taking pre-orders for them now, with expected delivery in late June.
