Backtotheglory « A dream guitar with exceptional sound! »
Published on 02/26/14 at 02:44Made in USA.
12 strings
Thinline semi-acoustic
Maple body
Maple set neck
Rosewood
Benchmarks "points"
24 frets
Scale: 629mm
Width at nut: 41.4 mm
Schaller
2 single coil pickups thomann Hi Gain (high output)
Weight: approx. 3.6 kg
Color: Mapleglo
Delivered in case
UTILIZATION
The handle is nice, well-rounded: grip really easy! The agreements place easily and naturally, even barred. Access to the treble last string is easy, though, on a twelve-string, this is not much use. I have been 10/10 for its use, but I think the double strings are very very slightly too close to each other (with fingers moderately large, slightly curl the strings (the open strings affect fingers on handle)), which require an adjustment period.
SOUNDS
Sound very 60's without effect, perfect for playing Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Animals, etc.. However, I recommend to play on a tube amp (I play a Fender Vaporizer), purchasing a Equalizer pedal to give a little more treble it, and a little more shut. But that is a matter of taste.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost three months, in a somewhat sporadic: it's a guitar that used to accompany me as playing solo. It is a heart stroke guitar: since I started playing guitar, I wanted to acquire a Rickenbacker. This is really great. And then a quality / great price. If you can get one: Do not think!
