Sonny Boy Havidson « 1 humbucker sounds but four fenderiens »
Published on 07/31/13 at 09:14- Made in USA at the end of period CBS in 1981.
- Bridge: Fixed kind Telecaster deluxe string through.
- Body: I do not know. The memory peeling paint and bleached place as on most of the time Fender.
- Neck: Maple with rosewood fingerboard 21 frets (it was an option) to profile C. Access to the rod adjustment is made to the former: it is necessary to remove the handle. Fortunately, the handle is very stable.
- Micro: Humbucker designed by Seth Lover in the bridge position, impedance 13 Kohm.
- Settings: Volume and tone and two switches: one winding (winding handle / humbucker / coil bridge) and a combination of coils (serial / parallel).
UTILIZATION
- The handle is very nice, nothing to do with that of 1979 Stratocaster V proéminant.
- The body is smaller than that of a Stratocaster. It has a little something that a Les Paul Junior DC. The weight is light (this is apparently varies according to the year of the Lead).
SOUNDS
Contrary to what one might expect seeing this black guitar with a single humbucker in the bridge position and considering it was built in 1980, this is not a metal oriented instrument. The switches can have a good range of sounds locators with their own personality somewhere between the Stratocaster and Telecaster. Even choissant the two coils in series, the sound is typically fenderienne. Note however that the switch from single to double coil induces a difference in level of significant output (the volume knob is your friend).
The effects go well. It will still be careful about the choice of overdrive because the high level of output when it is humbucker can make it tricky to obtain a slight crunch (at least that is my experience with a DOD 250).
She is doing as well as clear as distorted sounds. In practice, the lack of neck pickup is not dramatic (at vesoin, the body already has the necessary trapping in adding a single in the neck position) because the change of winding is very audible. We can consider the most directories associated with Fender. The humbucker has a very good record in slide and may even consider playing jazz tone knob (and depending on the setting of the height of the microphone).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about 6 months. I rather go for an Esquire or a Les Paul Junior when I discovered it. I had previously never heard of this model. This is my first solid body having been in the past a Danelectro and a Guild Starfire (most of the time I play acoustic and Fender and Gibson borrowed from a friend if needed). This is not a common instrument, but it proves very endearing to the use and presence of multiple settings on a single micro breaks the limitations but must adhere to the concept.
I studied a time adding a neck pickup but the complexity of the wiring still holding me and sounds already available eventually suit me but I have not said my last word.
