- 2 humbuckers, 3 position slecteur, rglage Volume / Tone indpendant (4 potentiomtres)
- Fittings dor type gibson bridge with adjustable height,
- Weight 3.2 Kgs.
Here is a link to a site about (other) passion for vintage Italian Gherson and of the 60 and 70: http://www.fetishguitars.com/html/italiane/gherson/index.html
UTILIZATION
The violin is of good quality handle "flat" perfectly legal and enjoyable, the whole exudes quality and strong even if the building is rustic but the charm of this type of instrument . For the rest (ergonomics, Access in acute, etc.) is an SG!
The mcaniques are a little hard to handle but are good agreement.
SOUNDS
It is the true surprise. Not knowing this guitar, j'tais a little worried about the quality of sound. APRS rglage change the strings and is shocked. Yet I have a small transistor amp fender of 30w.
The sound is clear prcis, powerful and warm at times (probably the massive body in frne), typical Gibson with great sustain even without electrification which is a sign! Many mdium. I can compare it with a gibson because I possde tlcaster a hand. No breath or any crackles.
The sound is saturated match.
OVERALL OPINION
An excellent compromise for someone who wants a good vintage guitar made in Europe for the price of a copy of Asian low-end.
I like the original's personality typically Italian (a bit kitsch) as it is a copy with true originality Aesthetics trs "seventies". Construction is irrprochable even if it is far from current standards. We find these guitars for about 150. They are rare on the market but unjustly mconnues. Enjoy!
