khouzain « I cracked »
Published on 03/21/14 at 06:32I will not repeat the description, there are some opinions that will make it much better than me. I just would note that for my part there is some shortcomings finishes at the neck binding, we see traces of lime which was a bit heavy, in good or it is not too serious.
UTILIZATION
At the handle, it is rather late (I used to play on a classic telecaster 50 ') so it surprised me, but I admit that it is very nice (especially when playing standing up, not worth to uncouple the wrist for a strikeout)
Level ergonomics is the size Les Paul, more than a standard format, although less comfortable than a strat (well yeah it lacks the bevels for the stall well) but it's still okay. Small thing that bother me on the other hand, the pickguard is placed too close to the strings especially high, so overall for regulars "I hold my finger on the pickguard to be more precise" bah it will take learn to bend a finger or deviate from these guys to be able to touch the strings. Other problems, the volume knob of the neck pickup, almost stick to the axis of the Bigsby, not very practical. Good personal for the moment I do not use too much, I'm pretty easy as type I manage all the general volume, but why not use it very boring wiring in the future.
I just have a little fear on the quality of varnish and paint quickly because I have small scratches that happened (well I always full bracelet with metal buckles so it does not help ). And I think the "ELECTROMATIC" logo on the length of the head is quite ugly.
apart from these two minor flaws, I fell in love with this guitar when I saw him I immediately told me that he had, and when I plugged it (in a blues junior) bah j 'pulled out the checkbook.
SOUNDS
the sound is terrible, its clear it was the heat, the roundness of the neck and middle pickup. And then you push a little gain, its crunch quickly, and then we feel that the guitar is made for.
I play mostly blues and rock, and the Gretsch is perfect for me because it is complementary to my telecaster.
distortion level can still go far enough you can tickle the hard rock (AC / DC, Kiss, and all other of the time)
something that is super cool, the Bigsby and the sustain of the guitar, the first was a point that frightened me, accustomed to fixed bridge, I used to say that if this is not a floyd, you retuned every 5min. bah actually no, I just put a little graphite on the nut history lubricate the passage of ropes and vim it holds good it is not 3tons below either, but you get a nice little effect anyway.
OVERALL OPINION
This guitar is super cool, I use it for almost 3 months and I'm not tired.
it is everything that I was missing by the time my telecaster.
I recommend this guitar still has a lot of positives for a rather reasonable price.
rereading me diagonally, I realized that I had said a lot of default with respect to the number of quality that I find this guitar.
But make no mistake, this guitar is really amazing, she has it all from a point of view and the feeling (I forgot to tell you that even empty it sounds of thunder, and that I find very nice , you feel the wood vibrate when you play, and for me it is something that I love
)
