SKY OF LIONHEART – (Family: Pegasus Sky Guitar)
General Description:
The Sky of Lionheart series is the best all-rounder of all Sky Guitars, both in terms of its overall sonic spectrum, its range and facilitated access to the highest frets. These guitars are designed to push musical boundaries, but are also perfectly suited for less ambitious tasks.
A true virtuoso lead-guitar for those players who are not afraid to explore electric guitar playing to the limit of what is physically feasible.
Based essentially on the original Mighty Wing neck/body configuration, this Sky Guitar type offers the easiest access to the highest notes. It is the most versatile and most suitable for true virtuoso playing.
