MGR/OlsenDP « Warwick Corvette 5 FNA »
Published on 03/08/03 at 15:00Purchase used off of EBay. I love the Corvette body style and wanted the Alanco style single pickups. Paid $795 delivered to my door.
Super HOT pickup and great EQ system that really allows for a tailored sound. Also has a "slap" circut in it that is Seymore Duncan. Has even more "growl" than the Corvette 5 Standard. Almost too much!
Not much to like about a new one of these models, unfortunately this one had been "modified". The "Just-A-Nut" had been replaced with a standard one. Although the set up on this was outstanding, it is set up for 45-130 strings and I prefer the Warwick 45-135's and would need to shim the nut to allow for this. I will probably end up purchasing the correct nut from Dana B Goods.
Outstanding Warwick quality. Bell brass frets need polishing occasionally but I expected that. Very solid feeling guitar great balance on a strap.
I now own 2 Warwick "vettes" and will keep them both since they have different voices. I love these guitars and prefer this (Corvette) line over the pricier Warwicks just because they have the same pickups and electronics and have a great feel to them.
