Made in the United States, the 56 Goldtop Reissue has two P90 (warning some versions have 80 years of P100, and a paint finish over silver). The bridge is an ABR, Tune O Matic, one volume and one tone with microphone, 3 position switch, just short of the very usual. The handle of the R56 is a big stick, characteristic of the LP era, but it is surprisingly very nice I think even for the fan that I am also telecast. As against a try as shredders for it is far from Ibanez sleeves ... The finishes are superb and the color "Antique Gold" is beautiful, but it is an instrument of the Custom Shop, then mount by hand and special care of finishes and settings. A dream after all.
UTILIZATION
I love the handle though the first few minutes it is somewhat surprising, it seems to get down to baseball ... printing becomes positive, and treble are very accessible. This guitar is very versatile because the P90 are less aggressive than the PAF, I was looking for. So you can either play on the neck pickup with the roundness and the specific heat of P90, the intermediate position is ... middle on the bridge pickup is more aggressive and biting and snapping. Connected to a tube amp, we enjoy, whether in light or strong crunches, as distorted sounds. Even this is enough of a guitar rock, blues, you can get beautiful clean tones.
SOUNDS
For what I play this guitar is perfect, but it complements a Telecaster and a Gretsch, still I find it quite versatile. I just love the sound I take a real pleasure to use with no effect, and this is the first time this has happened with a guitar ... This sound hypnotizes me
OVERALL OPINION
I use it recently, the only thing is that I blame him sitting playing the body is heavy it has a slight tendency to a small imbalance (yes it is minor ...).
The value for money?? Forget the price!! you will always be quality ...
It hurts the bank account, for a time against your hands, you can spend a lot of other guitars averages. Finally issue available in France ... I think we need patentier few months if this beauty is not in stock in the store.
