poupitou « "Super microphones and a violin on top" »
Published on 12/15/10 at 03:14I chose this guitar over the studio "normal" for its pair of 57 classic (value € 250), which I think are the best in the Gibson line. Nothing to do with the 490 and 498 is 10 times better.
SECOND positive point: the body "all rable" that we do gnralement meeting on guitars very upscale luthier.
The maple gives a lot of sustain and prcis, clear sound with 57 classic husband who gives his very vintage.
Level finish, for the price, there is nothing wrong. Of course there are more beautiful guitars with inlay and flamm table, but when we play, the important thing is the sound.
Gibson deluxe mechanics that take very good agreement.
USE
60's profile is very thin and fast neck, narrower than a fender strat neck with a short scale, this provides an ideal race for bends and taping. Before I had a standard paul them that I sold because of his handle and his bcheron microphones bursbucker too modern.
SOUND: This is the highlight of this guitar!
SONORITS
57 Classic pickups are powerful and granular Enlightenment years of its "dry" of the 498 and 490.
The prcison of maple can be pushed very far saturation without losing definition. The sustain is almost infinite. One begins quickly to Neil Young, Gary Moore and Page. The guitar sounds very vintage 70's.
The neck pickup is round and fat, rhythmic standard.
At the opposite the bridge pickup is sharp with lots of attack and depth Genre Stooges ... On the album "Raw Power"
The middle position gives a soft sound and feutr Santana, the distortion flow like honey ...
In conclusion, I would say the 57 Classic are very hot (they are usually on the mountains ES 175), the body is maple bring definition and clarity that is ideal distortion.
The guitar is much more versatile than the usual paul, you can play Blues, Jazz, Hard Rock or Pixies. It is very good for high saturation solos (look vidos on You Tube)
NOTICE GLOBAL
This is my prefers guitar. I possde a Fender Stratocaster, a Gibson SG, but since I have the Raw Power, I use the most.
There are strong bet that she will become a collector as is Russia. The sound is very close to a Deluxe Gold Top 79 (I could compare the two).
O the price it is sold, it's really a case. Navigating between Gretch Duo Jet and deluxe Gibson as rglages so as GOOD!
And above all there is the handle which is simply the best I have had under the fingers.
