The Story

Speed of Sound Singlecut Nitro Cherry Sunburst

This is the Colletti Guitars Speed of Sound™ serial #1041. This model is built with a singlecut body design which was a special order for a customer! This one features a Cherry Sunburst and aniline cherry stain finish, two Bare Knuckle Mule humbuckers and a TonePros wraparound tailpiece.

The Colletti Guitars Speed of Sound™ is an American-made guitar created by Music Zoo founder Tommy Colletti. The Speed of Sound™ is a bolt-on construction instrument featuring the Patent-Pending "Reso-Link" - a brass plate which links the body and neck to aid in resonance, sustain and articulation. The 'Reso-Link' is tuned specifically to sonically connect the neck and body to aid in the sympathetic resonance of each note. There's a defined note separation and sparkle added to the tones of the guitar that make it reminiscent of the touch-sensitive response of vintage guitars that have had decades to acclimate as a musical instrument and vibrate as one whole piece.

The tonewoods of the guitars (fretboards to necks and tops to bodies) are joined together using hot hide glue. The use of hide glue is a process adapted from vintage guitar construction, violin makers, and stringed instruments from decades and centuries past. Hot hide glue adds sustain and brilliance and brings out the natural tonal properties of the wood.

If you're looking for a high-performance American-made electric guitar, you won't be disappointed by the tone and feel of a Colletti Speed of Sound™!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
