Published on 03/10/13 at 08:09It's been a while since I was lusting over Mr. Hufschmid's work, I decided to start early 2013.
Frankly I do not know much about wood, we talked with Patrick that he identifies my needs based on my musical practice. He explained his choice, I learned a lot: D!
We come to the description:
Highly figured Premium-Ribbon 'Rift-Sawn, Sapelli Mahogany neck and body
Salvaged-Grafted Walnut (Claro / Franquette) Top
-Very rare Persimmon Ebony (Ebony white) rear control cavity cover ...
West African Ebony fingerboard, and control button
-25.5'' Scale - 24 frets - 12'' radius
Hufschmid-Techtron nut
Luminlay-side photo-luminescent dots
Hipshot hardware-
Hufschmid pickups, custom built for the customer
-Tru-Oil finish - 15 coats
The construction took in 5 weeks.
UTILIZATION
Leaving the cardboard guitar I immediately realized that it was a quality far superior to any other instruments I could play.
The finish is perfect, everything is adjusted to the millimeter, it exudes quality and strength!
The true oil finish leaves out all the wood grain, beautiful.
The Hipshot hardware is very accurate, maintenance agreement is perfect, even playing the guitar as a deaf does not tune.
The handle is very nice, not too thin or too thick, I felt comfortable from the first second. It should be noted that Patrick realizes the profile of the handle from a drawing of your hand and ca be felt!
Everyday is a joy, a guitar character like no other.
SOUNDS
The strong point: the sound, sorry SOUND!
This is just stunning, all spring, despite a huge output level nothing is messy, no frequency is "puff" by another.
Microphones (handwired custom) are suited to my style of music (metalcore etc ...) very large output level, distortion is obviously the party, anything goes, rock, metal, death, etc. shred. .. Everything is clean except the fingers go off course: D!
The interesting thing is that it sounds terrible plain and crunch too. At the beginning I did not expect to be able to send a little funk seen what I asked as microphones.
All styles go perfectly well reflected leaving the game
Comparing the sound to my other guitars (one EMG 81/85 in the other duncan SH4/SH2) the result is even more pronounced: it looks like the sound of other guitars is stifled and dull.
OVERALL OPINION
After a month always the same pleasure to play with this guitar, I touch other ... more
This is a fabulous instrument and directed by a passionate, ca feels ...
Versatility, high quality, I can only encourage you to go see the work of Patrick Hufschmid, you will not be disappointed!
Maybe soon for a 7-string who knows!
