donzere26290 « Wrinkles, but still alive. »
Published on 05/29/14 at 09:47My Welson "Playboy", made in Italy, was purchased in Orange in 1964.
The easel is height adjustable and floating, but already too high. Manufacturing is sloppy because partion to "Yeye" who liked breaking guitatres at that time! but not me ...
Question manufacturing quality, what I saw on mine removed:
Painting of a beautiful red vermilion, is fully cracked above / below but it just me who does not have much respect humidity of storage and also, it is a semi-hollow domed against 3 ply plywood 3mm, in tension, with little internal reinforcements. Stiffness in the extension of the handle is provided by several square 20x20 pine glued together and raw logs.
handle it with its curved keys is very enjoyable to play and it is always perfect. It has not moved.
Regarding "electronics", 2 slide switches mics, 2 volume pots / "tone" and 3 resistors Ducati 125VI 100000k 20% 125 470 000 VI pf 20% and 1 (gray-orange-black-brown) ?
One could say that it looks like the amateur DIY.
There is obviously no shield and ground on 2 humbuckers and the lyre, include a piece of stripped at each end and wrapped around the screws microphones thread.
This guitar over 50 years always been part of my moves and despite its lack of cover, was still pretty resilient.
Me being handed guitar, I dismounted to give him a "young" and customize it a bit, but making quality, I'll go back after cleaning and allow "in its own juice" and then buy another. Perhaps a specialist can give me an estimate for the view from a different perspective than "love."
