Particularly seductive in matt black, the Pulse is also available with a 20mm quilted topand in other colours including Sunburst, Tobaccoburst and Gold.
In the bass department, the new Primal Instinct SPI delivers perfect balance and custom pickups, bridge and circuit to give this passive bass a great feel and sound.

"We like to do things our own way at Lodestone", comments Marketing and Artist Relations manager Dan Gooday ahead of the show. "The new Pulse guitars combine great sounds and playability, and prove that it is possible to make a striking visual impact by doing things a bit differently."
