Perfection in 50’s Stratocaster sound.

All the lead guitar parts of these Shadows tunes were played with the magnificient KINMANUSA Magnum Opus ’59 Stratocaster pickups.

The Magnum Opus ’59 Zero-Hum is the new Gold Standard for Stratocaster pickups and these audio tracks speak mountains about them and why Hank Marvin and his inner circle of advisors much prefer the Magnum Opus ’59 over any other brand’.

The Savage

Just to demonstrate the versatility of the Magnum Opus '59 Gary Taylor played the lead guitar parts to sound like the 1960's original and is an unusual sound, sort of muted.  But as you will hear he couldn't completely suppress the shine of the Magnum Opus '59.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLaEvtixDg0
