CHARACTERISTICS are the same as those from other ads. I prcise even when the handle is in the spirit trs folk, the weight is trslger and the junction sleeve / case is the quatorzime box as ... an acoustic guitar! I also think that it is this similarity that has ergonomic finally convinced me into buying this guitar sound APRS but this is another part of this opinion.

My copy is burgundy. I ENTSO some bands body contour and the shield other than transparent MODELS antrieurs but too bad (especially for bands that dcollent). I find the buttons of black plastic knob trs ugly but I&#39;ve changed.

Some technical notes:
- The body is semi-hollow Thinline Telecaster and a base made of (good) against-plate structure and masonite for the rest. The latter is a composite matriau (reminder: the wood is a natural composite) and adj Danelectro own well proven since ... 1954!
- The handle is equipped with a bar available rglage disassemble the handle like any old Fender handle his rglage is a bit tedious.
- The two pickups are in CBLS SERIES, which is a particular feature of the brand. Many guitarists country recblent their Telecasters for this Manir typical humbucker sound.
- The head of nut is aluminum. It&#39;s original but effective.

Out of this, everything is simple and trs even a little minimalist.

UTILIZATION

The strings of both origins trslgres (.09 for the chanterelle), I have to t rgler the handle, which was easier than I expected with this type of bar rglage ACCS.

Many existing acoustic noise. They saw the evil ds taient greenhouses pickup. I note in passing that the pickups are not height adjustable (rubber bands with an effective restraint) but can be adjusted with slices of 3 mm Diameter indoor I used for the neck pickup that needed it.

From the acoustic guitar, I quickly adapted trs ergonomics of the handle and the balance of the masses. This as said, it trs diffrent handle of a little TLC and request a longer period of adaptation in others. The guitar playing is trs enjoyable for me.

SOUNDS

The pickups are lipsticks, o slamming sound that will please some and not others.

I currently play on my amp electro-acoustic Torque (50W in 1996 with an HP 12 ", it is a Carlsbro and killed on the spot the Marshall 50W) until I finished my rparateur pamper my Stimer-Garen of 1962 (an amp franais gnial basically a Vox 6 Watts). The Torque is a tool for judging fairly transparent clear sound of a guitar and that is one area it excels o . loadings are given by a Tube Screamer (no channel "drive" on a 1962 amp lamp!) all of which are excellent regardless of the select microphone.

I have a whole particulire preferences for the neck pickup gives me the sound of JJCale (normal you say, it uses the same microphone) and allows to approach jazz. It also goes well trs crunch.

The bridge pickup is trs slamming and may be even more than that of a Telecaster, which is saying something. With a spring reverb, one can start to rockabilly or country fawn Johnny Cash. It also goes well with a trs chorus pedals (Boss CE-3) for those rare times I use it o and it also does wonders in saturated.

Let us now intrtmme of this guitar: intermdiaire position that puts the two mics in SERIES and gives a humbucker sound that lies somewhere between the bridge pickup of a Gretsch and that of a Gibson ES-335 according to the height of the microphone. It&#39;s terrible for the slide as a dj dmontr Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin era. The rgal is true both in the clear saturated.

Whatever rglage, the characters of the instrument is labeled trs and may not suit someone looking for a versatile guitar (not "versatile" as some say, believing that word has the same meaning in French and English!).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four months APRS have bought used for 260. It was worth more than 400 new, so I parat a bit expensive for a guitar as basic on which there are as many rglages do. But once these rglages effectus was an instrument trs trs engaging and usable in a mix (even Mark Knopfler agrees with me).

I had previously no electric of my own but I was borrowing from friends frquents possdant the Fender (Stratocaster Telecaster &#39;52 reissue, and 1979) and other Gibson (Les Paul Standard and ES-345) that largely form the apprciate of my ears electric guitar worthy of the name. I cracked by trying it for the first time while I&#39;m plutt east towards all that is a P-90 and a real cash! This n&#39;tais not prmdit. In addition to its well correspont that some of the uses I have a electric guitar, ergonomics and the mass jou have a lot to convince me that I&#39;m used to acoustic guitars.

I sell may be one day as I search the sounds of P-90 and a real case and I try to limit the proliferation of my musical instruments. I think it will still be backward-same as it is trs endearing characters and a real part.
