tarz200tdi « A shovel of character »
Published on 06/01/12 at 14:50Bought second hand about 6 months ago.
For specifications, everything has been said.
In my case it was a buying opportunity: For a while I was looking for a girlfriend to my Gibby SG, which is as complementary as possible. I was away on a telecaster, but knowing the character very (too?) Over the latter, I watched what was happening in other fender, outside of the stratovolcano (great guitar, but I do not know I can not ... too .. too saw it?).
It is by chance that I turned on this guitar.
To summarize, this guitar has it:
> Look fabulous (it's a detail ... but that counts right?)
> I found a violin quality (although I still would rather assemblies "tenon - mortise gibson fender with large screws ...)
> A hardware ranging from not bad (the mechanics are really good vintage ... simply resize the nut eventually) to very good: the pseudo tune-o-matic associated with good vibrato is always a pleasure, even if I found that the tail of vibrato seems a bit off in its housing. Holding agreement has positively surprised me.
> Microphones and sound of hell ... The pickups have a grain (especially the serious ... I like the treble but the bass ... yum) excellent, and a very wide range. The light is beautiful, ranging from very dry and slamming Fender to something more velvety via the band selector. Crunches are falling, and, best of all: the beast behaves very well in distortion. On sound distortion is independent Queen (at the same time it is known for that), but she does not mind going to sound more dug.
> The routing between combinations of mics is pretty clear ... It's not a Jaguar HH
If we were to find fault:
> It is bulky! The body is really great
> It is heavy ... Not as much as a Les Paul, but much more than a SG!
> Setting the microphones (one plot per cord in addition to the pickup height) is not obvious at first
Anyway ... The position of guitar No. 2 is a difficult job because I'm pretty quick to resale ... But I do believe that one party is to stay permanently!
