Value For Money : Excellent
Made in the United States, fully polished round end, half cash, two microphones (one serious, one acute) volume and tone for each pickup, plus a button balance between the two microphones. Finally, a pickup selector to play with two or only one of them.

It has a mono output, and a stereo output which can connect a Y cable (stereo on one side and two mono cables from each other), and each microphone is found on one of the cables .

Should not the wrong hole when the branch because if you plug the cable into the stereo out mono ... all of a sudden you lose the serious ... it&#39;s just super scary time to understand why the microphone work anymore * LOL



UTILIZATION

the guitar is not heavy, the handle is super nice. The fine does not bother me as playing the mandolin I prefer the sleeves end my palm of his hand encompasses much, I prefer not to have big innings, I find them uncomfortable, but when I have no choice, I do with .

access to acute and is easy to get the sound .. ben should just play, and remember to plug it.

I tested the 330 in a store and I almost fell off my chair when he heard the sound. I shot a big price blues, and finally I said that IF! One day I will have a Rickenbacker, no matter how long it takes! It&#39;s not a cheap guitar, but by being sponsored by the family is friends for a Birthday gift, it can get very cheap, especially if you have many generous participants ;-)

I decided to take the 360 ​​first because it is more beautiful, the body, the handle ... finishes are much prettier, and then mainly because this one is stereo, and I counted on to use this feature so unique.

I hesitated a moment with the 620, which is stereo, but the tone of the body half body convinced me.


SOUNDS

This guitar is suitable for many styles of music. Although I do not play metal ... I tried with heavy distortion, but ... I do not like heavy distortion:-P

the sound is very clear, nothing to do with a Fender, it&#39;s a particular timbre. You can adjust the treble very clear and very deep bass.

Moreover, when I put the bass back, I feel that my guitar amp to hard to digest ... or of interest to have a stereo output, and power plug in the micro low on ... a bass amp :-))

Well since I also play bass, it&#39;s not a problem for the amp:-P

stereo output can also do a lot of combinations, such as placing a specific effect on a single microphone, such as a reverb on the treble, leaving the serious mate, or vice versa, and other effects as what you have.

I do not push too much treble, I like his bluesy warm, but it depends on what I play, this guitar offers so many possibilities that it would be a shame to lock on a specific mode.

It sounds as if it is not connected, because its body is hollow, it sounds acoustic. Some will not like, but I think it&#39;s great. It&#39;s a pretty nice, it&#39;s not as strong as a good acoustic guitar with a good body, but it&#39;s still good enough to repeat without amp.


OVERALL OPINION

I played on other models before, but either I do not find it "very comfortable" or the sound let me dream ...

I also had the guitars really rotten with a broken body and ropes to 1cm above the handle that you could not get given the state of the fund, real galleys, but if you want to play and we it ... we do with ... but at least we have "made the fingers" ...

but there is a time for everything ...

This guitar is made by hand, or a price premium. But given its manufacture, its very special finishing the price is justified. I know luthiers that do electric guitars entirely by hand and the prices are similar.

Now you can win up to 500 euros on the price depending on where you buy it. much cheaper in England, if not .. balances must be in France in the music store and you can have a very pleasant surprise and pay less than 330 new, what I did, but be careful, do not hang out because it can go faster: - P

is what I do it again this choice? Ben saw that I dreamed for 20 years ... YES! and I see no other guitar on the market that can offer me the same service level and sound adjustment, and side look, j&#39;adooooooore.

She provides case and given the size of its body, the case is high ... good for sure that it can not compete with my mandolin case ... So there, one regret: that I can not press a button, it folds completely in size pick, and I put it in my pocket .. but, I ask also the option for my car:-P
