Michele Della Guistina Moonlight
"The Italian luthier used traditional woods in this non-traditional archtop with a spruce top and maple back and sides. The untraditional part comes in with the top construction. Instead of a smooth arch, it's a flat top with a round bulge carved in the the front and back. The design was primarily aesthetic, but Michele says that eventually he realized that the sound coming from the design was clearer, compared to traditional archtops. The pickup is made by an Italian company called Artisan."

Great drive sounds, ranging from characterful boost to low-gain overdrive. Unique personality. Powerful, flexible EQ.

Arguably a bit expensive for what it does.

Like a lot of ’60s gear with department store catalog origins, Silvertone amps and guitars provided great bang for the buck when they were new. But perhaps no Silvertone product—apart from the company’s Danelectro-built guitars—is as revered as the Twin Twelve. Mudhoney’s Mark Arm and Steve Turner discovered their charms early in their career, and Twin Twelves and their siblings remained backline fixtures for punks, garage rockers, and indie kids. But once the likes of Jack White and Dan Auerbach got on board, the market heated up considerably.
