Launching this month, CrystalRoc has hand customised the star's Sennheiser microphones with Swarovski crystals in sparkling Dorado (metallic gold) and stunning iridescent crystal. Additionally there will be the world's first completely crystallised fully functioning Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar, which will also make its debut on the groundbreaking tour.
Kylie Minogue was delighted with her dazzling microphones when she saw them at her London rehearsal studios last week and is pleased to be the first artist to use them. And her tour manager Sean Fitzpatrick says: "The microphones look and sound fantastic!"
CrystalRoc is the brainchild of successful music producer Morten Schjolin. Unique in design, all of the CrystalRoc collection is produced in Schjolin's London studio in Fulham and offers a high-end collection of microphones, decks, drum kits, guitars and accessories, all of them painstakingly hand customised with the very best - Swarovski Crystals. Each piece is a fully functioning handcrafted work of art, developed with a technique, which has been honed to absolute perfection and a quality of workmanship, which ensures that every crystal is precisely positioned, and in its own perfect space.
For the first time, these beautiful instruments will be available to buy, hire and custom order and will use top name brands such as Gibson, Sennheiser and Technics. CrystalRoc offers the ultimate in customised elegance, and who better to epitomise that than the ultimate showgirl herself, Kylie Minogue.
