This is a really unusual guitar the two magnetic pickups sound really good and with the active tone control can be made extremely many sounds (see my video) - the entire guitar has nothing at all of a "cheap guitar, but feels valuable and solid. The guitar is still brand new - and has not had a previous owner (I took it over from a dealer colleague, and can therefore also deduct UST here, which will please those who get the 19% refunded if they are prof. active. The price for such an instrument, moreover a rare piece is actually kind of unbelievable.... Trev Wilkinson says about the Italia Muira: "Saying the Muira is different from other acoustic guitars would be an understatement, and Italia is NEVER understated!" And indeed, only Trev could have designed a guitar like this. Controlled by a pair of volume knobs, the Muira's low-output magnetic single coils and onboard 3-band preamp will give you all the acoustic sounds under the sun, while a super-fast neck makes playing any musical style a breeze. Then there's the finish which, in true Italia style, is a lavish pearl and sparklefest with lashings of chrome on top.
