Sinan Cem Eroglu

"Closed-black boxes shines like a star on my custom made double-neck guitar. After EMG pickups, I have a really clean and sustained fretless guitar sound without any gear. For distortion and overdrive sound, I can’t find any words to describe its timbre. They’re totally amazing !"
