kinindrin « good copy of ES 335 »
Published on 09/27/10 at 04:24Much has been said in previous reviews.
Made in Korea. Semi-hollow, 2 PAF humbuckers typed. One volume, one tone for each pickup, a 3-position selector. Tune-o-matic. All this is very classic.
I was a little scared of buying on the internet, but the guys at C77 are available by mail. I took the plunge, the guitar arrived on time, fully resolved and granted (despite transport), ready to play.
There are small problems but nothing rédibitoire finish: paint drip on the binding, the edges of the frets are not excellently cut (but it is purely aesthetic, it does not hinder movement on the handle).
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice. It is wider but thinner than my Start, the radius is flatter. Access to acute is particularly good (and set neck double cutaway).
It is a rather large guitar but as it is half empty, it is not heavy, it also gives a false impression of fragility. It is very well balanced. As I am big, it's the guitar on which I am most comfortable (I am used to classical guitar as well).
The tuners are a little cheap. As I am not very straight forward it does, but perhaps the point which deserves a change (or the most expensive nor the most difficult to change).
SOUNDS
I plug in a VOX AC4 via a little big muff and it's perfect for rock 60-70's. This is his favorite. I think it is not for clean sounds, even if it comes out honestly (it happens to hit my shots jazz). With a slight crunch or distortion, regardless of the microphone, it was a warm, creamy purring just right. The notes are well defined. That is my biggest (happy) surprise on this guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it now a little over a year. I played in alternation with a strat U.S. american std. I wanted a copy of 335 to vary.
I tried the Epiphone Dot (one mounted microphones Gibson) and sheraton and Ibanez. I would have liked to tried the custom cort has good reputation and I've never laid hands on the original model. This is my second electric guitar and I was looking for an affordable price. For me, it remains in this price range model is the most homogeneous in terms of violin / her. There are more finished models (mainly on the details) but the microphones are changing. I find it unfortunate that the brand is not widely distributed outside of the Internet, even if contact with C77 is excellent and reassuring.
I would do this choice without hesitation. Designed to complement my Start and for the price I'm not sure of something better. My only uncertainty is aging. We see not the wood through the paint, I would see in a few years ...
