Needless to reconsider everything, others have done before me ...
UTILIZATION
I decided to post my opinion on this guitar because it differs much point on everything I read.
Precisely on the handle, I do not agree with the main body. I find it too late in the hand and also with a flat profile too ... On a guitar vintage inspiration, the choice of neck profile seems incomprehensible. But hey, this is a greater focus public and others enjoy ... Oh, it takes a little time to tame the floating bridge. Personally my guitar did not take the deal. I solved the problem by carefully filing the gorges of Nut, the bridge, greasing all that the graphite mine and putting a (very) large drawing ... You must also adjust the height of microphones, pads, I can tinker rings pickups to raise the bridge pickup closer to the strings ... Well, it is the job of fine tuning but this is much better. Issues of disagreement were anyway not possible ... You can not spend time to agree. Today it no longer moves.
SOUNDS
I bought this guitar after having tried among many others in store. I had never played archtop and it was the slap while I was rather looking for a solid-body. The sound is vintage arch, burning in neck and sour and very personal in the bridge. But it is the neck pickup that attracted me ... I play this guitar plugged into a twin reverb (65 reissue), and out comes a huge blues sound, rugged, dynamic and warm as I never had known. All the defects of this guitar, small buzz of the bridge etc. participate in its ... Once connected, it's roots ... How would you describe ... With a little overdrive, neck pickup, j ' feel I tease the sound of Alvin lee in the album Ten years after "recorded live" with the tremolo in the twin, I am at Neil Young ... I'm calm and play on the acoustic capacity of the body, explores the game variations on strings me closer to the bridge and I approach the sound of Marc ribot ... And this is funny ... The three play on Gibson when I approach their type tone ...
OVERALL OPINION
After reading all the reviews about the quality of the mics, I decided to see if a replacement transfigure this guitar that I love. Hop, I found two Grestch HS FilterTron (alnico) and I started to work ... Result: the filtertrons are excelents is on ... Better defined and rich handle and less shrill in the bridge .. . But I lost the way that made me vibrate in this guitar. So I put my neck pickup and yet I kept FilterTron trestle, more versatile than the other, but I can not guarantee that I will not one day replace the gretschbucker (for blues Tuareg way of the Zairian rumba, or dirty punk ...).
So here we go! Not being a big fan of gretschs and folklore that revolves around, I chose this guitar for its sound, probably closer to an old Gibson as a 6120 Rocky ... and a little muddy course, but so hot ... I pointed out here that it works in my twin and the other amps, I do not know. Changes microphones concern those who want a more guitar "Grestch" in the sound. For others, open your ears. The sound is a little dirty but huge. Vintage wish ... Why will deliver cleanliness there? Rest the handle ... I love this guitar so I wonder if I'm not going to grow myself ... Well, we'll see.
5120 Grestch, it's not a guitar to yet another demo of mystery-train on utube and better.
It has its own personality and its not necessarily gretschienne deserves to take the other territories
the rockabilly. This is where it becomes great and gives meaning. For those who love hot music, a little dirty blues to Latin, African music and so on ...
Ah last major points: The neck pickup sends serious bass ... Very convenient for those who play in duo guitar / drums ... If you know what I mean ...
