Grungy! Shure CR20 Bullet Harp Mic, Hot Shure CM

Grungy Character, Ugly Finish
Awesome Tone! Really Hot and Strong
High-Impedance Harmonica Microphone
Vintage Shure Controlled Magnetic
99S556 EC element
Fully Tested and Working

Is it beautiful or ugly? A been-through-the-ringer Shure CR20 in terrible cosmetic condition. Grungy, chipped, scratched, and cruddy outside. However inside it’s newly rewired, with new element gasket, and a great-sounding Controlled-magnetic element. I couldn’t help myself though, and added a new dual windscreen behind the grill featuring marine-grade stainless steel mesh and white polyester cloth.

This element is really strong, with great distortion when cupped. This CM element sound is what’s important in this mic, and it howls!

The mic features:
– Strong Shure 99S556 element
– Original Green and grime
– Switchcraft 5/8” screw-on connector
– 1327 Ohms, Strong element
– Custom stainless steel mesh
– Original Green Shure Riveted Tin Tag

The mic has been tested on a Mission Chicago 30 watt amp, and on a lovely little Kalamazoo Model Two amp. It performs great on both.
