Lower Korea, imitating the legendary Rickenbacker in 4003.
Unable to determine the wood used. It's not like maple on original, this is not the agathis found on low-end models, it is not ash, it is not the mahogany. I do not think either of alder ...
Mine is sunbust red (in the jargon Fireglo Rick ') a splendid! With bindings around the body and neck. She is thrilled!
Rick massive easel style 'without the damper. Mechanical type tulip not identified, correct, complete their work, but do not inspire the confidence of a sturdy and durable.
The handle is 22 squares, roughly 41 mm at nut, 58 to the 22nd fret. Set neck. The back of the handle is painted and varnished. The key is not (unlike the original). Milestones faux pearl type triangle. And cream binding around the neck. Plastic nut.
Microphones by AZ (I speak about below).
White one ply pickguard, looks cheap.
Tone-tone controls and flight-flight with the tones at the top like the original. And a 3 position switch.
Mono output, not like the original injury ...?
The instrument is a great look and provides an overall very satisfactory level of finish.
UTILIZATION
The handle looks like a clarification. Large, too. But not too thick. I would have liked a little thinner at the nut. Access to acute is perfect, frets are well finished.
First problem: the bridge in two parts requires the use of extra-long scale strings. I've been around music shops in Bordeaux before having to order from one of them to have those pesky cords. Otherwise, the Mi and La are too short and do not occupy the entire space in the saddle. Consequence: the strings twist.
Second problem: the mug easy enough buzz. I changed all the knobs, switches, capable, cables. I redid the solder, shielded cavity. The sound has improved, more buzz, the tones and volumes are much more effective. This operation is indispensable to me!
It is well balanced.
I repeat, no doubt, but it is really beautiful!
SOUNDS
Pickups AZ, initially I thought the change for Seymour and others, but overall, I like them these microphones. The neck pickup can not bear the attacks and is too big "plop" touching it with the pick. The bridge pickup is awesome. He has an extraordinary presence.
The two pickups growl, it's still better than at Warwick growl or musicman (very subjective). The middle position with both pickups activated offers a more modern, more balanced.
I play guitar pick or fingers, no slap, no tapping and other technical devices. Punk rock live! This is not entirely sound rick is quite a good (excellent) alternative that is in the spirit of Rick's. " I love it!
OVERALL OPINION
One last caveat: the quality and thickness of the varnish is flawed. If the patent is well finished and looks like a beautiful mirror, it shows some ripples in some ways (that's nitpicking). And it is quite late, he jumped at several locations in the head for a little time. It is a relic accelerated ...
I who have always wanted to own a Rick, I come across a great alternative. Value for money and crazy! I'm in love. Everyone tells me she is gorgeous. The musicians who play with me are all pleasantly surprised by the sound coming out.
In conclusion, we will assume that the Rammage refers to the plumage.
