Japan
24 frets with zero fret
Bigsby vibrato and floating bridge
2 humbuckers filtertron
on each volume, a master volume knob of a microphone, a dial tone
very good finish
UTILIZATION
Handle very nice, the ebony fingerboard gives a very good definition of notes, access to acute is relatively easy, although not remarkable either, good ergonomics and weight suitable thickness, insensitive to feedback, as to sound is a marvel; serious micro soft (not as much as a PAF) ideal for his jazz (Charlie Christian, or more likely the same as Wes), the middle position gives her a very fendérien almost crystalline, which is ideal for chords and arpeggios, as to the micro acute he knows how convincing the country or rock'n'roll solos but also supports very well the big distos.
SOUNDS
I play jazz as well as country rock and rockabilly with this guitar is my main guitar, plugged into my Fender Blues Junior
it works wonders in all styles that I practice
OVERALL OPINION
I own this guitar for five years and I am very satisfied, having said that it is still restricted to specific styles of music, (that may not be ideal to play the metal); ago few years I had a Gretsch Tennessean 1623, 6120 and on 60 I found the same feeling, "THE GREAT GRETSCH SOUND "....
