Plate pattern reminiscent of the Prairie Flower Gibson Acoustic SJ-200.
Supplied in hard case Gibson United States.
Guitar of the week # 41.
UTILIZATION
I regret a little present on the mechanical SG standard example. The knobs are against much better quality and more efficient than the latter.
Access to acute recess is the easiest and the heel of junction between neck and body and very fine.
The guitar is very light (more than SG) but tends to pitch down. I can put the strap lock on the back of the box rather than at the top of the notch.
The microphone is simply magical. Defined round but still crunch and terribly hot.
The faded finish is pleasing to the eye and the touch even though it is probably more fragile. Touched the back of the neck can be confusing at first but ended up being too nice. The guitar vibrates a lot on his stomach ... Is it due to the thin layer of varnish??
SOUNDS
Amateur guitar for rock and roll! Whatever we do we get necessarily an ultra sound very bluesy rock and roll. I think the country men can also find their happiness but certainly not metal.
I branch at home on my Pod XT modeling Hywatt, Vox or Fender and the live and repeat 'in a Fender Hotrod Deluxe. It has a huge dynamic and thus allows a lot of nuance in the game. The pickups respond well to attacks right hand.
The sound is vintage! Much slamming a humbucker, the P90 still retains a good level out to a single coil and humbucker near the character ... we must try to know is a sort of mix between the two. No buzz, not blatant rigging specific feedback.
I hated the sound of the P90 Seymour when I'm crazy of Gibson ...
The tone knob is very effective and can "emulate" a position round. This allows not to regret the presence of a second microphone.
The handle end to a rather Gibson is nice and easy.
OVERALL OPINION
I have for a week and I do not stop playing it over. The sound is incredible and the look is fabulous.
The P90 offers a feature to the sound of Gibson. Very vintage but not roots, it stands out from the humbuckers without betraying the identity of the brand.
I try a Fender Telecaster fitted with Seymour Duncan P90 that did not sound at all (for my taste). Is the microphone, guitar or both? In short this Gibson has nothing to do!
The price is very affordable for a limited edition Gibson and I think for once resonance, contrary to the habits of the brand.
I will redeem this guitar without hesitation and certainly less than when acquired
The kind of guitar that can keep a life!
