- American Manufacturing (Reissue Model 1957)
- 21 frets
- Nut width: 42 mm
- Body: Alder
- Scale: 648 mm (25.5 ")
- Neck: Maple V-shaped
- Tuners: Vintage Goth
- Fingerboard: Maple
- Tremolo: American Vintage Tremolo
- Pickups: 3 single coils
- Case: Hard case finish Tweed (orange inside)
- A general volume and 2 tone (serious and micro micro acute)
- 3-position selector of origin, a 5 position switch comes in a kit (belt time, cable, cleaning products)
UTILIZATION
The shape of the V handle makes it very pleasant all the games, even if it takes a little time to get used to it quickly takes pleasure in engaging in the chorus Clapton or Gilmour!
Access to acute is done without difficulty, even if we miss a hoop.
The ergonomics of the whole is perfect and yet this model has over 50 years.
His weight is right, neither too heavy nor too light: it can play for hours without asking any questions of back problems or shoulder dislocation.
The "old mechanical", like the mechanical oil bath mounted on the newer models are great, are very good agreement.
SOUNDS
This model is perfect for my styles of music: blues, jazz-rock, funk combined with a Vox (AD60VT) or Classic 30's top.
Mics "Singel Coils" made with the same specifications as the Model 1957 offers a range of sounds very "pure" and very nice lens in crunch just by using the 3-position selector. I will mount the switch 5 positions for two additional sounds.
As against this model comes with a metal cover type "Ash tray" icon that is a bit annoying, I find it useless so I have not mounted.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since late May and I can not do without it, I finally found the sound.
His aesthetic is also interesting, the gold finish is definitely not flashy but very "class" and the lacquer finish that gives it a very refined style.
Actually there is nothing negative to say about this model.
For just under € 2,000 and given the happiness that gives this guitar I find it can be a bit expensive but it's a collector's model made with sobriety!
Fender thank you!
