UTILIZATION

It's a Start with all that it behaves like CHARACTERISTICS, quality, but also default, which, can we be honest ... ... confrent an instrument certain charm deprecated.

SOUNDS

Its typical blues "roots". No effect. Live in the amp, and magic!
Clear sound on all three positions (1, 3, 5) is absolutely mesmerizing!

OVERALL OPINION

So that's the big question! How long? It is an instrument that I bought there over a year, to complete my collection. I do not shut up never used, until the week goes! I still used my Start in frne, Custom54 team of 'all lights on my 50Watts. Then I decided this instrument out of its torpor, believing me to find some sort of face espce mxicaine of standard microphones with shit, a violin approximate and finishes mdiocres. The guitar is pretty lgre, it's a little gadget ... The plate is curled up, the knobs are loose, the paint appears thin and fragile, and varnish the handle is a bit sticky. In short, I have a lot of this instrument priori bought only "for show" among the others (Flying V 69, SG93, dobro, Les Paul, Start and my honey blonde CHRI, with which I play , all the same). I do know is hontuex, but what do you want, I ftichiste and my psychothrapie is still not finished ... ouarf ouarf!
Finally, I therefore take this "thing" blue hand, a lgre ddain pout face, and I branch, some rglages, like race - a little concave, bridges, harmonics, height microphones, as long as the amp heats ... Voil Instrument rgl amp hot, there's more than that! And l. .. Fucking crying out loud! This skyscraper is magic! She has the fire! Fire! With capital letters and everything ... My rglages? All the knobs of legalization in the middle, neutral position, no gain, a bit of reverb (that of the amp), no effects or other multi pdalier. Really, this instrument is magical: The sound of the great years is the the feeling, the mind is the Panard! A force play, the varnish of the handle lgrement heating, and becomes soft, it's exploded! At this price, I tell everyone: Do not hesitate, if you like blues, rock limits the beginners, this is a must.
I think my thrapie is nearing completion ...

I come back a year and a half later ... I always Classic'50 (ct is me, the small CHRI). Sparer impossible for me! I shut that off with a priori, had bought in 2005 without use it for a year ... Now, no question of playing on something else! I have however made some changes to facilitate the daily use: the plate first. The original one ply corrugated too, floating above the pickups, so I opted to replace it with a 3-ply Mint Green. The spirit remains, the look seems to be more successful. Then I also remplacles knobs by US Mexican, finest, both in handling and in the rglages ... More prcis. I added two vibrato springs from three five springs, for better holding of the agreement. Unlike what I read on the issue, the problem of accuracy of this instrument is not related to the same mcaniques in them, but rather the rigidity of the vibrato, and Manir to fix the ropes on mcaniques. This rgl I can torment the vibrato of my fill, nothing happens! And end of the end, I replaced the pickups by: Custom'54 a neck and bridge position, a Texas Special Middle position. Cot of the instrument 600. Cot plate and knobs: 50. Cot of microphones OCCAZ ': 150 with the port ... The springs, 1.50 pice. For 800, you end up with an instrument qualmits exceptional. Friends who play on US MODELS signatures are expensive really surprised by this little sister, who really just a large. The violin has not changed one bit, the frets are quality (I play every day, and wear is less important in particular, as some Asian sries alloys trsmdiocres ). This scratching pte! Both visually and acoustically to. The handle is a comfort, and many bends in the same rgl del 15me of the box are possible - in fact I do not deny. Allie my old 50 watt lamps, and my TS808, the effect is formidable. I do not put as 10, no 11!
