Sonnet
Sonnet
The pickups were specifically designed to fit the Sonnet's natural voicing: the new Metro-Pole MPHA-2 Humbucker is a unique low output pickup which ensures a creamy, yet twangy tone, thus creating a perfect balance with the vintage-voiced MPRS-5 single coils. The push-push switch located on the tone control lets you combine both the bridge and the neck pickups for additional tones. The Vintage Style "Steel Tone" Tremolo was built to precision, using the finest steel saddle material and a cold rolled steel sustain block. As with all Magneto guitars, the electronic cavities are shielded, as are the pickguard materials.

Sonnet Raw Dawg III
Sonnet RawDawg III
2021 marked 10 years of collaboration between grammy nominated artist Eric GALES and MAGNETO® Guitars. The 2022 released "Crown" album produced by Joe BONAMASSA has hit record sales in the Blues album cathegory.
MAGNETO® guitars has produced several custom versions of the Eric GALES “RawDawg” guitar in the past years, we have always worked on the same type of body and neck combinations but we have tried to add a new feature at every new rendition making it a high grade instrument with a solid price tag.
In early 2020, we started to talk about the idea of producing a new Signature guitar that would be made available to a broader audience. We kept on talking with Eric and tried many options and we have also developed specific parts for that guitar. An important part of the plan was to develop a specific range of single coil pickups that would have the dynamics and great midrange response which play an important role in Eric’s guitar tone.
The MAGNETO Eric GALES RD3 will feature a basswood body as well as a roasted maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The new signature model is available in Sunset Gold finish and will sport a Gold mirror pickguard and backplate, a Gotoh tremolo, Gotoh tuners as well as the new Magneto Metro-Poles EG1 pickups.
