Electric Guitar
Tempest
Previous Model — No Longer in Production
The Tempest is a close cousin to the Cyclone and a natural development of the ongoing Korean production, sharing the same body, neck and fingerboard but at a lower price point, with subtle differences. As standard, this guitar offers a flamed maple top, 3 colour configurations, the exclusive Barracuda H-S-H pickup configuration, Grover tuners and a fixed bridge. Left-handed models are available at no extra cost.
