Glasser AEX Carbon Composite Viola, red metallic
The Glasser AEX Carbon Composite Acoustic-Electric Violia features attractive looks, great amplified tone, and tremendous tone control courtesy of onboard active electronics with built-in bass/treble/volume controls.
Glasser AEX violas are a great option for players who want the best of both worlds -- a big, rich acoustic tone, and the option to plug in and amplify so you can be heard in situations where your acoustic alone isn't quite enough volume. These are well-made, attractive instruments with a really good acoustic sound and excellent amplified tone.
The Glasser AE really shines when plugged in. It features active electronics, developed in partnership with Bartolini. The Glasser Swordtail active system features a volume knob on the tailpiece, and a dual bass/treble tone control and and 1/4" output jack built into the chin rest. The incorporated preamp gives this viola a strong, rich amplified tone and the acoustic body lends it complexity.
The AEX viola uses a paint/dye coating system to provide a bold, distinctive, slightly pearlescent color to the body of the instrument. A black outline provides great contrast.
The instrument comes set up with Larsen strings and Perfection Planetary Pegs. Perfection Pegs were invented to prevent the problem of slipping or stuck pegs. These innovative pegs save time on tuning and increase the musical potential of your instrument.
