Con immenso onore anche il grandissimo MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO ha una chitarra preparata alle Terme Emiliane!!!! Inizio questo articolo con i dovuti ringraziamenti a chi ha fatto si che Michael venisse a conoscenza delle Terme, i nostri amicissimi Stefano SEBO Xotta e Andrea Martongelli che lo conoscono molto bene suonando spesso con lui, e anche lavorativamente parlando, in quanto Michael utilizza il MULTIAMP prodotto dalla DV MARK, azienda per cui SEBO lavora in qualità di Product Specialist, ci hanno fatto una grandissima pubblicità, mostrandogli l’efficacia dei nostri lavori sui loro strumenti al punto di invogliare Michael a metterci alla prova sulla sua ultima chitarra DEAN MAB Gold Relic Signature. Diciamo che dopo qualche piccolo accordo sulle tipologie di interventi da effettuare ci ha decisamente lasciato carta bianca! Alla consegna dello strumento, le cui modifiche sono descritte dettagliatamente in questo articolo, Michael è rimasto entusiasta del risultato finale, a breve usciranno video ufficiali in cui la prova e ci mostra come suona adesso questa fantastica DEAN 😉
