Guitar made in Japan (I bought mine in 1982, I think), 24 frets frets rather low and wide.
Originally there are two micro Di Marzio. I kept one, and replaced the neck pickup for a Di Marzio PAF.
There is an active electronic booster that allows the guitar to split the two microphones series / parallel, and put microphones in reverse phase to the center position. 2 9V batteries. I forget probably because ...
=> I "fired" all of that pretty quickly because it was too complicated for me, especially the batteries had a tendency to "let go" during a concert, or just before. Since we must use the screwdriver to replace ... I only have two microphones, one splitable, Volume, tone and choice of microphone.
It would start over again, I would do differently and try to find a direct output (bypass the electronics) to have sound all the same if something goes wrong.
Metal nut. Cordier very well studied.
I noticed that this guitar was used at the time (among others) by Andy Summers at public concerts of Police.
UTILIZATION
Handle very nice. I postponed the belt clip the tip of the horn before, to about level 17 th box (on the back). And with the strap, the guitar is found a little remote forward. This allows me to place the wrist on the tailpiece and play between the 7th and the 15th (approximately). This is my area of choice.
One reaches the highest levels correctly, but for the 24 th I play mainly on the Si Mi or
The game at the top of the handle, side saddle, is more difficult, but doable: Because of my manip. the arm is extended, and cramps are favored. Involves sitting, it works better on top of the handle.
It is a very heavy guitar.
SOUNDS
I play with a Digitech RP-7 on electro-acoustic amp Roland Cube 40 Watt, which is enough for now. I also played on Hinsley 50 Watt and I was very happy.
I like the sound, even if the saturation obtained by micro acute home lacks a bit of volume from the neck pickup.
The different sounds obtained with the active electronics recall a little Gibson L6S.
Now, as I have "tinkered" is fixed as his, but that's enough for what I do now.
OVERALL OPINION
Pretty, elegant, except weight and appetite in a stack, the original model still seems very current.
