Regius Air - available from March 2007 - comes as third of the new signature Regius version developed with help and inspiration of Daniel Gildenlöw, founder of Pain Of Salvation – one of the leading groups in the progressive rock-metal world. The concept behind Regius Elements is to adjust the usual Regius in correspondence to the 5 natural Elements of the Universe, with an appropriate “elemental” look and truly “universal” tonal capabilities.
The 4 upcoming models: WATER, EARTH, AIR & FIRE are issued for sale in strictly limited number of 10 copies (five 6-stringed & five 7-stringed models) according to the consequent solstice / equinox dates (each Element representing one phase of the year).
