Cyrpé « Rock n Roll Star »
Published on 05/27/13 at 15:16In the pure tradition of the great home of Gibson: Made in USA.
With a mahogany body (carved with gills), 22 frets, Bigsby bridge, nitrocellulose lacquer, and microphones: 57 Classic Alnico II neck and 57 More Classic Alnico II.
Mine is a red ... flamboyant!
Note the fly box provides custom Gibson with the beast.
For the rest, I refer you to the "news" section.
UTILIZATION
This guitar is it fun to play? Let's see ... And how! And then some! Tested in store just out of curiosity, I have rested about 30 minutes later on the base (ah lightning).
The sensations are (for me) between a round of Les Paul, SG and something else ... The width of the handle allows you to play comfortably fingers, like a pick, and fits my cell poile mimines.
Access to treble is good, for example, I would take the solo Lynyrd Skynyrd: Freebird, no worries. And it's ...
SOUNDS
... The sound is really something. As usual the Stratocaster, I did not expect such versatility.
This guitar is perfect for beautiful rock n rollesques flights, typed with a vintage sound. That is powerful, with sustain, a retro side, the ability to get a round and slamming for bluesy songs (john lee hooker, BB King etc ...), or the brilliant and aggressive ACDC, ZZ Top, Led Zep ', Lynyrd etc ...
I play a Fender Blues Junior with a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker and then the magic happens. It's as if Chuck Berry had lent his guitar to Billy Gibbons. (Ok I'm racing, but it is the emotion).
Do not be fooled by its gills that may inspire him a jazzy, this guitar a strong character, but it is also surprisingly clean sound (a real pleasure to play with my U2 delay électronic TC).
Obviously, this is not a cut for metal guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a week now, and intensively. I separated from my PRS singlecut for this one, and I tried a few Les Paul before cracking.
What I like most:
-LOOK
Retro-side
-Versatility
-57 classic pickups (yum)
-Comfort handle
-The bridge Bigsby
What I like least:
- ...
-The moment I have to do anything other than play
The value for money seems excellent for the mahogany and such attention to detail, (ok, except for the plastic nut on the head ..)
I would be on my mind after this next scene. I noticed that the bridge Bigsby tends to detune the G string, but nothing serious. At the same time, with such a flexible game, it seems normal.
With hindsight, I would do this choice without hesitation ... I leave you, I will return to play
