Best Mic I Have Ever Used

Ok, so normally I don't buy mics since everywhere I play (mostly church) already has mics but I am a huge Elvis fan so I thought I'd get it. The packaging is really cool. The mic is enclosed in the bo... read more [+]x in bubble wrap. Anyways it looked absolutely amazing. I felt so special having the mic Elvis used. Looks were great. When I plugged it in at church and tried out the sound I was speechless. No pun intended. It had the best clarity I have ever heard in a mic. I play guitar and sing so I had to put it on a boom stand. Turns out it looks absolutely amazing on a boom stand. You NEED to buy this mic. I wish I could give it 10 out of 5 stars. close [-]

I'm the sound designer (audio system, playback programming, sound fx, voice overs, transition and underscore music) for a very successful production of the musical "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story".

These are very reliable and durable mics and have contributed tremendously to the overall success of the look and even more so to the sound of the show. close [-]

Best customer service I've ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.
