Dédéo
Published on 08/26/07 at 06:41
This guitar was manufactured in the USA, as the Nashville Custom Shop produced here in 90 years ...
ES 175 is a luxury version. Everything about this guitar is neat, beyond the standard guitar. The table has been dug in the ground and that makes all the difference. The sides are 3-ply plywood story and background and also carved, but I'm not sure. The choice of wood graining, etc. is such that only big brands or major makers have access to these qualities there. If this is still not a guitar maker, it comes close but above the knowledge of the brand gives a homogeneous model as is the high-end Gibson who does not already under by-products. (The makers are not the same all ...) The neck is super nice and the strings sound good Jazz 11-52, needless to mount cables to like ... We are in the high-end, obviously.
UTILIZATION
The handle is the top: So mahogany one piece, it supports strong ties. Access to acute is relatively easy and the guitar is light (archtop is an acoustic guitar) can play standing up because it is very well balanced. In acoustics, this is not a J200 or a Martin but the sound is much more powerful than a solid body archtop or false. The grain on the dynamics of its point to the quality of amplified sound, but we will return. Drive with a pick, if you attack the strings, we can chorusser with a folk guitar if the other suits ...
Connected, the "foot". On a tube amp, the sound is warm mellow jazz background. We find the sound of Grant Green, Wes and other guitar legends. On an electronic amplifier is equally perfect, less fat, less hot, but a stunning clarity, the nuances agree.
SOUNDS
For jazz is the ultimate weapon (Philip Catherine I saw ten days ago and it is one of a distortion pedal and all, the fact that all the time ...). No pre-cutting approach to acute archtop sound, it has the sound, that's all. The settings are only colors, it is not denature archtop sound, when you have the chance to sound like that, it adjusts the quality of the amp to amplify the sound.
We can assist with finesse and take the hand chorus without touching a button or pedal, you attack a little more, it is stronger, that's it! The quitar is very reactive and 57 humbukers repeatedly copied, never duplicated. I have not tested the effects but the amplified sound is close to perfection in the genre.
The beautiful proves sensitive to feedback, but less than pleased that all electrical power I had.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had 15 days, I not change it. Manufacturing quality and consistency of the model are amazing. We do not sell these guitars there when you want to play what I play. The choice of wood, ds adhesives, fittings, this is made to last. It only remains for me to work with her and that happiness assured. Audiofanzine announced by the rating was incorrect, the ES 175, beautiful guitar industrial quality is rated as the L4-CES is the luxury version, there is a problem! These instruments are rare and should be compared with guitars of luthier in vogue.
This is an exceptional guitar like all those that are outside the Custom Shop. The price is high but the quality is at the rendezvous. If the opportunity arises and money is in hand, if you try, you can not do without. An excellent choice is undeniable.
