New Hues for Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet II: Burgundy Mist Metallic and Adriatic Blue Metallic
While the original Astroluxe Cadet II made waves in Silver Sparkle, Gold Sparkle, and Vintage Cream, Eastwood Guitars is taking aesthetic appeal to the next level with these vibrant additions.
- Burgundy Mist Metallic: This rich, deep finish evokes a sense of vintage elegance and sophistication, reminiscent of classic guitars from a bygone era. It’s a statement color for players who appreciate a touch of refined retro style.
- Adriatic Blue Metallic: Cool and serene, this finish mirrors the tranquil beauty of a summer night sky, offering a fresh yet timeless look. It’s perfect for musicians seeking a distinct visual flair that stands out on stage or in the studio.
These new metallic finishes are more than just cosmetic upgrades; they enhance the Astroluxe Cadet II’s distinctive retro-futuristic aesthetic, which has made the Astroluxe a cherished model in Eastwood’s lineup of artist signature guitars.
Unparalleled Tonal Versatility Underneath the Beautiful Finish
Beyond its striking appearance, the Bill Nelson Astroluxe Cadet II remains a powerhouse of sonic exploration. Engineered for players eager to push musical boundaries, this limited-edition instrument features an advanced switching and pickup system.
It boasts a custom P90 pickup in the neck position for warm, articulate tones and a powerful humbucker at the bridge for aggressive bite and sustain.
Further expanding its sonic palette, the guitar includes phase and coil-split options, allowing musicians to effortlessly dial in a vast array of sounds – from pristine cleans to raucous overdrive.
This makes the Astroluxe Cadet II an ideal choice for guitarists demanding both aesthetic beauty and exceptional versatility, whether they’re recording in the studio or performing live.
