EXCALIBUR – (Family: Pegasus Sky Guitar)
General Description:
The most recent Sky Guitar to date is Uli’s new prototype “Excalibur”, which he played for the first time during his current tour in Mannheim, Germany. The special occasion was his 50th Anniversary concert on Dec. 14, 2018. The guitar was finished only two days before, but it already played like a dream and sounded fantastic so much so that Uli played almost the whole concert with it, because he loved it so much.
This guitar features a huge, beautiful moonstone from India, which is ingeniously back-lit and slowly pulsating in different rainbow colours. Other gemstones in the brooch are Topaz and Amethysts. The result is pure magic and very inspirational.
Excalibur combines all the features of the Sky Elite series with several new extras, which make it the most versatile and most powerful Sky Guitar ever built to date. It also carries 20 top notch digital/analog effects, including Echo, Chorus, Flanger, Tremolo, Touch-Wha and many others.
