«  it's round, it's good! »

Published on 09/02/14 at 16:51
I bought it in the 90s in the USA, a pittance (well about $ 300 anyway, but compared to what I had planned to put in a hollow body is that slab) and I discovered a great guitar made in Germany!

UTILIZATION

The handle was top, clean, I had a few years after refretter but nothing nasty. what bothered me the most and that's why I avoided the play live is that the bridge was floating: a flick of the wrist a little unhappy and that was it, you had 15 minutes to redo the accuracy and agreement. But in the recording studio: a killer.

SOUNDS

Very hot jazz sounds of the country through colors. Mine was an old rotary vibrato was a little space to master, but perfect for creating a custom tremolo effect, a simple little flick of the finger on the stem. And it's very round, inimitable. I never found that sound, even on much more expensive Gretsch or Gibson (but probably more recent)

OVERALL OPINION

I do not play on half-boxes, but I'd be happy to replay on it if I rediscovered one.
