Description

2021 marks 10 years of collaboration between Eric GALES and MAGNETO Guitars but it was also a turning point for one of the most gifted guitar players of our time. A new album produced by Joe BONAMASSA is about released in January 2022. The new album  features original songs written by Eric GALES, LaDonna GALES, James HOUSE, Tom HAMBRIDGE, Keb MO, Josh SMITH, Joe BONAMMASSA. 

MAGNETO guitars has produced several custom versions of the Eric GALES “RawDawg” guitar in the past years, they have always worked on the same type of body and neck combinations but tried to add a new feature at every new rendition making it a high grade instrument with a solid price tag.

In early 2020, Magneto 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 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.
