Introducing the Soloway Cygnus

The Cygnus is a bright, clear guitar with a lot of high end sparkle. The pickups should not be confused with Gibson-style mini humbuckers. According to the Lollar site the "FirebirdĀ® Humbucker Pickups use a unique design with a sound that resembles a fat single-coil more than a full-size humbucker." Ā 

Soloway has added a series/parallel switch to the tone control and activating series mode is like hitting an instant fat switch, producing a thick warm creamy tone. This dramatically increases the versatility of the Cygnus.
