Rocknweb « A small wonder after upgrade pickups »
Published on 10/20/10 at 14:21The characteristics of my PGM30 different from the original series from 1995 and manufactured by Cort factory in Korea, an upgrade was done previously. I do not know the value of the original pickups, mine are all just perfect in the image of the PGM 300 Guitar Reference Series in PGM. A change from an Edge Pro tremolo is possible, I personally do not see the point considering the excellent agreement of holding TRS II in my case.
So the specs are
- Body Basswood
- Maple neck 24 frets, rosewood fingerboard
- Dimarzio Tone Zone in bridge
- Dimarzio PAF in neck
- Floyd TRSII
- 1 volume, 1 5-way switching strat Classic
- Nut string effective block never disturbed
- Cosmo Black acastillage the best effect
No complaints about the finish, here is the road for a guitar 15 years.
Some small cracks are visible along the microphones, Ibanez typical of this category.
UTILIZATION
The guitar is not light, it is however very well balanced, the ergonomics of a super-strat. The handle is puzzling by its width, after a month we can not do without and we wonder how we will be able to resume the handle of a Start ... precision, comfort in a word, a real highway.
No tone control but we made it very quickly, because it sounds great, the positions of microphones and volume control can vary the tone without touching anything on the amp. A report little or no hum in any position.
SOUNDS
Anything is possible with the PGM loadings in the country picking the most pissed impossible to catch her out. Y has the chattering of teeth is always precise, very big versatility. That's exactly what I wanted to think outside the box of guitars too typed (Start, Tele, LP, Gretsch). It has a guitar in the modern sense of the word, the sound is expressive and floyd does not alter the substain which is huge.
OVERALL OPINION
Really surprised I went to try it without really knowing what it was I was looking for a Jem SV initially good but the prices are high and I did not even put 1600 euros in a guitar I was not 100%. The upgrade of this micro PGM had put a flea in his ear and actually I tried it on a Bugera 333 XL and it sounds the fire god. With me now I'm using a Valve Junior with a pedal input out on a 4x12 cab and it's already very good ...
I play for several months and honestly by Gretsch I do not play on it ...
