OBSCURA - Ran Guitars To Create Official Steffen Kummerer Signature Guitar
October 4, 2010, 14 years ago
Polish guitar manufacturer Ran Guitars have signed on to create an official Steffen Kummerer signature guitar. The custom OBSCURA model will be a seven-string, neck-through-body mahogany guitar featuring EMG pickups and a Schaller Floyd Rose tremolo. The band’s logo will be embossed on the fret board inlay. Detailed photos of the guitar can be viewed now at this location.
Kummerer commented on his partnership with Ran Guitars: "I am glad to be a part of the Ran family now. I started playing Ran custom built guitars in 2003 and was instantly impressed with the high quality of the build, fine woods, and precise hardware they use. You'll hear and see the new Ran axes during the upcoming tours in support of Obscura's new album in February '11."
Obscura recently unveiled the name of their forthcoming full-length as Omnivium. Omnivium was recorded and is currently being mixed at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany with engineer V. Santura (TRIPTYKON, DARK FORTRESS). The nine-track album will see an early 2011 release date. Additional album details will be made available shortly.
Obscura has been confirmed for the Hatework Festival in Romania, Mass Deathtruction Festival in Belgium, and Bang Your Head Festival in Luxembourg. A listing of dates and cities can be found below with more to be announced soon.
