UTILIZATION

Channel early '60 with nitro lacquer on the back was voluntarily treated for maximum comfort.
Ergonomics hair. Body beautifully patinated, but not too little relic, cracked glaze ... Perfect! One would think an original. The high end!
Access to the treble is excellent. In terms of weight, the instrument is well balanced and light. We easily get the desired sounds.

SOUNDS

She excels in all styles vintage: Blues, Rock 50-70's, Country ...
Plugged into a '57 Fender Twin, a Bandmaster ... it is divine :-)
Warm sounds in crunch or crystalline clear.
The CS '60 pickups are accurate. The five positions are really different and all sound incredibly well, with a preference on the intermediate positions.
A marvel of sustain and vibration.

OVERALL OPINION

Acquired very recently, I tried several models of long cutom Shop exceptional enough, my choice fell on her.
The violin is superb, it is in the high end, a magnificent instrument.
Certainly a big budget, but once the instrument in hand, one does not regret his choice :-)
