Fabiquée Korea
22 frets
United States De Armond pickups single coil
Bigsby vibrato
Chevallet floating Bigsby
1 master volume, 2 tone and volume that controls the micro switch activated by the micro
Channel varnish rather round
7.5 cm box ep
color red face Sides and back black with white binding
The finish is more than acceptable with a kind of polyurethane varnish the most beautiful effect.
UTILIZATION
Handle fairly thick but very nice fast and flowing
access to acute not easy
the guitar is pretty light (lighter than my strato!) is very nice.
When I plug into an all-tube amp (TWIN) and even on my Tone LAB (vox) it sounds regardless of the microphone used.
SOUNDS
The microphone at the top is very hot jazz and rhythm powerful
the microphone at the bottom is more acute for Chuck Berry style solo
Technical Info and gain ca crunch pushes more and more to reach saturations used in DIFFERENT styles of music.
But for me the top is the config selector in the middle with two microphones. Gretsch is really the sound that the pickups are single coils that. It twang style stray cats or other rockab.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had four months and fell in love since his trial although a priori from the price I really parissait "too much" affordable.
This is a total success but it is a matter of taste (aesthetic typical).
I tried to Autes brand models 3 times more expensive and apart from the microphones that are duplicates filtertron with her even hotter, I could not find a difference.
I will go soon to try again to see if my impression is confirmed.
O
K I just try three models, one with TV jones on an amp orange. Well my impression is confirmed the G5129 is on a par with models to 3000 euros if not at the finish !!!!! so I began to note 9
Only weak point which lowers the average to 8 is that the guitar comes bare without even a bag or a carton. (At least in the store and I bought it)
Clearly I do it again this choice. And I advise anyone who wants a half crate, to try it.
