CT-64140 « A great guitar! »
Published on 07/08/13 at 15:51Guitar made in Korea
features on the manufacturer's website: http://www.voxamps.com/uk/guitars/series55/
Note 2 microphones (one inning, one bridge) splitables three positions:
- Singlecoil
- Singlecoil typed P90
- Humbucker
Each microphone is individually splitable
Three position switch: Neck Pickup / Pickup Neck + Bridge Pickup / Bridge Pickup
The bridge is typical of aluminum very special design for Vox guitars.
UTILIZATION
The handle is a treat for my taste, a real highway. Access to the latest frets (with a smashed box / sleeve on the junction) is surprisingly easy!
Gets it easy to sound good? One branch and it sounds like hell on whatever opportunities that offer multiple settings (microphone selection and splitages thereof)
My hands, my ears never tire of playing it!
The violin is very well finished. This guitar is both aesthetically beautiful finish that perspective. But I would have liked the presence of a pickguard.
It is very light, the ratio of proportion neck / body the imbalance by the bite of the handle. Can be compensated using a strap that does not slide easily on the shoulder and / or ballasting the pots cavity in the body. Apart from this minor inconvenience, lightweight and ergonomic body make it very pleasant.
It fits perfectly the agreement.
Even before the boost, vacuum, this guitar makes a good impression and play standing pressed against the body, you can feel it vibrate nicely!
The Vox was set at the factory with a high action. But it lends itself very well to be set low action. It becomes very quick to play.
SOUNDS
This guitar can play everything - or almost! With all the combinations that allows splitage each microphone independently selecton the microphones, and excellent tone control is surprised to see the possibilities. You can spend very jazzys sounds or clean sounds very "single coil" (note, however, is not a Tele or Strat!) Other fats that are very reminiscent of a classic SG. Humbucker in position with an overdrive (I use a Okko Diablo Gain +) or with tube amp pushed to its limits, it can send wood! The volume knob plays the role perfectly control distortion: a simple volume adjustment, a slight crunch we go to the big sound. Sustain also feel good on a Les Paul and Vox crunch without being asked!
A note: whatever position splitage or selection of micro, microphones are wonderfully quieter than most other guitars I've tried!
This instrument (given its price range!) Is a marvel. When I play on my 112 combo Egnater Rebel is in clear or distorted sounds a treat. What to rival far more expensive guitars!
OVERALL OPINION
Apart from the lack of pickguard, I think everything on this guitar is remarkable given its price.
Note that some videos on the internet can give you an idea, but none seems to do justice to the multitude of sounds that can be drawn. There are many clips that show different combinations splittage microphones, but (this is probably due to the acquisition of sounds and compression of audio track for the web) the differences are not so obvious that true, and with a good amp! ...
Not only do I do this choice, but the more I highly recommend it!
