«  Amazing ES 335 copy »

Published on 03/15/13 at 12:45
22 frets, bridge tune'O matic, 2 humbuckers, 4 knobs (2 for mics) volume and tone, beautiful table painted black and ivory piping with 2 gills: the scene is set ...
Look at it is to copy ES the most beautiful effect. I know what I'm talking about because big fan of Alvin and BB King, I owned a real ES sold there 5/6 years for financial reasons (we do not spit on 1950 euros when you are in need ....)
Lacks a vibrato to whether the totale.Si the song is like the plumage .... here promises.

UTILIZATION

Well, let's be clear right away: this is a copy and not a true but still.
For the price, it gives the exchange with honors.
The guitar is well balanced despite a weight that really feels. the handle is very nice, neither too broad nor too thin. Keys may be rosewood without either one certitude.Juste points instead of pearl buttons Gibson. It is simple but practical and very well finished.
Access to acute is childishness. Very easy and ergonomic ... (probably redundant.
The action is pretty low on mine (ease of setting tune'O ...). It is very easy to play and sound easily obtained as desired, depending on the amp évidemment.La difference between the neck pickup and the bridge is quite important: They are therefore used to something.
In clean, this is ecstasy. Frankly very pleasant. Air as it should and a Fender reverb is really good.

SOUNDS

Everything can be discussed with the shovel. Blues course, but also more jazzy stuff. The funky is very affordable too. Note sustain quite correct for a guitar of this price certainly made in China or Korea (although the brand is actually German ....).
However, a limit in which the feedback satus not forgive if we positioned poorly compared to the amp. But she agrees very well with distos hardos paying attention to his position. Personally, I use a Carvin and Fender all-tube ROCPRO 1000. It goes quite well on 2.

OVERALL OPINION

I play with 6 years alternating with Flyin and a Strat. I really wanted to find an ES like following the sale of the real.
Well, I'm not disappointed. Quite honestly, the price difference is not worth the candle.
Santander this is certainly not as charismatic as was my Gibson but it is almost as well (do not shout please the purists!)
I would do this choice without hesitation. For 199 euros on the internet, I did not really got robbed. Notes may seem high, but they are related to the price.
That is to say .....
