Teen Minded « not reserved only Beatles ... »
Published on 12/11/12 at 09:16Guitar made in the USA in Santa Ana, California.
Channel two-part conductive maple cut on quarter, wood grain inverted for better stability.
Double truss rod
Maple body
Varnished rosewood
2 Hi Gain pickups
Selector 3 positions, 2 vol, 2 tone, 1 volume pot mix for stereo output
1 mono, 1 stereo output
The method of construction and the wood used correspond to the idea that I made a solid body.
UTILIZATION
Handle very pleasant after a little time to adapt (I used a Les Paul before moving on this model), some will be disturbed by the varnished rosewood, but we made it very quickly, the keys on maple strat, tele etc are also painted so ..
The guitar is well balanced.
The pitch of the guitar (similar to Gibson) can not have too much to loosen the wrist for daring agreements.
For cons, the guitar is factory-fitted with 10/46, which compared with a Les Paul (or any other Gibson) seems more flexible: it can be explained by the fact that the strings on the Rickenbacker, derive almost "right" the bridge to Silet: the angle formed by the tailpiece / bridge / strings is close to 180 ° (ie almost flat), or of less tension on the rope granted. On a Gibson for example, the same angle is more closed to or greater tension.
SOUNDS
The real plus of this guitar.
Rickenbacker model is not limited only to "Beatles - style".
Many YT videos show people playing this style of music with this guitar, which is very good. But she can not do that. She also knows how to show angry distortion (unbelievable but true) and could break in this area in many preconceptions. Hey! It is a solid body and maple neck-body maple! not half a crate! Microphones and send!
I would say that it is in the micro Paulien serious, and a mix of Telecaster / SG on the micro acute.
A monster versatility, and saturated sound (Kurt Ballou of Converge up album You Fail Me uses a variant of this model).
I plug the guitar into an Orange Rocker 30 Head + PPC212 with a little Maxon Overdrive. The heavy artillery.
OVERALL OPINION
Amazing guitar and unknown, that may be suffering from the image and sound of his sisters 360 and 330 and its lack of availability, which deserves to be tested in a register "big sound." I plan to also put online a video on YT test in this register sounds.
