Fender Special Edition Showmaster FMT HH

i payed £250 for this guitar, which at the time i thort was expensive. This was beacause i wasn't very good on guitar as i had only been playing for about 1 1/2. But when i had my normal guitar lesson (by the greatest guitar teacher in the world) he said it was a very nice guitar. I got it from a guitar show in London area.

The reason i really like this guitar is beacuse it has a lock at the nut, which helps it stop going out of tune. It also has a tremelo (like on joe satriani's guitar). Another eason i really liked this guitar was because the looks of it are very nice, a type you would love to do a gig with!

the thing i dont like about it is that i have to go to school 5 days a week so i dont get to play it enough!

The guitar has two humbucker pickups which are very nice. The neck is quite thin which makes it a lot easier to play lead guitar. It has skull and cross bones down the fret board (instead of dots) and is completely black, except the neck which is a very dark mahogany colour.

overall i would advise anyone who has the money to spend, to buy one.You may think its expensive but i would prefer the guitar than the money. It's definately value for money and its a lot easier to play and learn different riffs on it. If you dont get one i think you are missing out. well play safe (not that your gonna hurt yourself guitaring) and hope you like this guitar as much as i do!

I bought it new for one week, I play on Tonelab SE + tab mix and sound: a wonder. Sounds fat and bluesy, the "catchy" and rock crunch and even the "clean" up Knopfler!
Slecteur 5 positions: full and simple.

UTILIZATION

Excellent Luter (collage sleeve impressive), ultra comfortable neck with Ibanez fawn Access in acute gnial (I do about 40 a night ...), fine solos and relatively lgre .. Russianness one!

SOUNDS

Guitar versatile enough to support directory "all styles".
Fail just splitables .. but it would be more expensive.
And then change or imitation of Eternal Strato Tl. on the real .. manufacturing Corenne trs is honorable. Trmolo, mechanical self-locking, toaster, ricer .. what more?

OVERALL OPINION

I would do without much hsitation.

-Made in Korea
-There are 24 frets, 2 humbuckers signed seyour duncan (Job 59 ') and a 5-way switch that allows you to split the pickups! (Offer more sounds!)
-The bridge is a simple vibrato tt
-There is therefore a 5-way switch, one volume and one tone.
-The handle is a very fine set neck with jumbo frets and offers one of these sustains ...

UTILIZATION

-The handle is nice at first but I soon realized it was not my style.Il is the antithesis of a handle Gibson! Very thin (a real blade), designed to play fast, it's a handle solo.
-Access to Acute + that is easy on a guitar that is pr strato-type form.
It is ultra-light! Played both sitting and standing, however I advise to play when you play standing up, otherwise the sleeve shows its limits ..
-We have a good sound because it is of mahogany and Seymour Duncan pickups in, but it's still fender and the sound is too shrill for my taste. Crystal clear enough in the light (with a chorus is magnificent) and with distortion it will be hard to play metal or heavy rock despite Seymour! It remains fender!
Personally, I do not like the sound, but it's a matter of taste, I put 7.

SOUNDS

-The sounds are not what I want. But again it is a matter of taste!
-I play a vox ad60vt
Overall, I find the sound too acute and not easily ratrapables, even with an amp that displays sound with lots of bass.

OVERALL OPINION

-I had it for over a year and I have to sell it.
"I likes the 5-way switch and look (beautiful), but actually the handle and the sound is not my favorite guitar. It's really a guitar solo.
-I bought it without much experience, which is why This now I find my happiness in which approximates more gibson, which is the opposite.
The price / quality ratio is still very good! I bought it on sale for 560euros and at that price, with a fender seymour duncan is not theft! But in the normal price 800euros, we can find better in PRS for example.
With experience, I will not repeat that choice, but I do not regret it, I was allowed to touch a bit of fender!
