pujol813 « Not bad but needs to be upgraded »
Published on 10/13/14 at 14:06The guitar was made between 85 and 86 in Japan. It has a bridge and Gotoh vintage guy a little cheap cars. The neck is maple with a maple fingerboard reported, it is quite thin type D wizard and has 21 frets. Last but not least, the head is shaped CBS. I'm inclined to think that this large head butt is the only thing that redeems the abject seventies. And when I say that, I think everything: Pompidou, Yes, the pants legs eph', Guy Lux, Bontempi organs, Brezhnev, the Rubettes, Giscard, Honda fours, armed leftism and booms where girls kissing when leaving. Otherwise, the electronics are standard: five switch positions with volume adjustment and two tones. The body is made of ash. The polish is nitrocellulose natural color vaguely tinted. So it's rather a beautiful object and, surprisingly, in a perfect condition for its age.
UTILIZATION
The handle is excellent, very light guitar. No problem of access to acute. The set of original pickups mounted is excellent and very powerful. Personally I am a fan of the 4-position for arpeggios and flat picking and position 5 for solos. The bridge micro seems meanwhile unattractive under the slamming of the micro bridge telecaster. I think up a hot track as soon as possible.
SOUNDS
I play in a country register, blues, indie-folk (say, a kind of americana) in a pretty cushy trio. I play on a tube amp and a dozen effects to save but to get out, I have a quarterhorse-amp pedal with Traynor which saves me the hassle of transport for a fairly good sound result.
The sound is off. A wide vibrato with spring reverb and tremolo and shoo! we see the Mojave Desert, Joshua trees and bloody cliffs under the relentless sun. After, of course, we go back to tuning. I do not go out before you change the mechanical and tremolo which will, incidentally, relieve me 200 euros at least.
OVERALL OPINION
At this point, I think we understand it does not take the deal. A wide vibrato and presto! farewell the ground rope. The high E is fantastic and fits the tone he likes despite my best efforts. So you never know what note it will produce. Surprise ...
I am not my first guitar. I had to have a fortnight and I played on just about everything that exists if the black stuff while we exclude acute angles. Well, it's a bargain, provided be considered a basic need some solid upgrades.
