«  a jewel »

Published on 10/25/11 at 08:20
beautiful semi hollow guitar and Thinline between, there's a beam, but only until the bridge, everything else is hollow
Made in United States
TOM bridge fxe
22 frets (oval type specific Hamer and have since become my favorite)
one piece mahogany neck
carved mahogany back room
spruce and thick massive

Seymour Duncan Seth Lover
theft, a tone
Mecas grover imperial

UTILIZATION

handle fairly thick but less than 59 of Gibson, very nice (for me)
extra ergonomics is the big plus of this guitar compared to its cousins ​​the 335 or jazz hollowbody, very light
the least access to it could be more acute
use could not be more simple

SOUNDS

it is not a 335, the sound is very special, very airy, almost brilliant, difficult to describe
days can be anything that is not distorted or it ultra feedback
I was not a fan of SH55 (a little bland for my taste) so I have changed to a pair of Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen in neck and bridge in Riff Raff, that its look great and enhances the natural sound of lutherie
I love the cleans and light crunch (classical jazz, Scofield, blues, soul)

OVERALL OPINION

I have been 7 months now and I have become the trademark of fada underestimated the United States found at extremely low prices given the quality of the violin and the beauty of these instruments.
I bought, sold, exchanged a lot of guitars before you get to this one and I care!
if you see one one day, skip it
