«  CLASSIC VIBE 60 VIBE 50 CLASSIC VS »

Published on 07/13/12 at 00:17
these guitars are made in China with a very different specifications depending on the model ..
these are not the same innings, although the finishes are the same
odds of heads are not identical, or a real focus on each of these models
as a rule the VS 50 predente odds shorter than 60

UTILIZATION

the sleeves are both pleasant, with a + for 50, fully adjusted relative to the 60, whether that level of harmonic string height
so I do not know if it comes from the store (I doubt) the two models were the models for exhibition, and this m'rtonnerait that we have fun with this kind of settings alone, mostly hauteyr the ropes. ..
if not for both, standard fender, with, I repeat to 50, scores more "massive"

SOUNDS

then there is a question of taste .. except to say that 60 is more "difficult" to own at her .. she seems made for the saturated rock ..
the 50 was a joy of its connection .. can be also to the factory settings .. short, I prefer by far the least vs 60 which is "typed" more neutral for my taste
I play a Fender tube amp and a modified "network" using a home studio boss gx 700 especially for clean tones with a bit of reverb ..

OVERALL OPINION

you will understand my heart swings to 50 ..
the woods are not the same, the odds of either body (vs. the 60 is more "long", approaching probably scores of fender model of these years, same for scores of head, and 50 has an I something more personal than the 60 .. vs a little more massive, but honestly it is not obvious, it suffices to have a trained eye and a meter ...
change the pickups? why not, the violin is very good, and guitars, I've seen pass through the hands of notemment fender)
for the 50 would not change anything .. for 60, I saw the spirit tate .. SRV (pickguard, sunburst, aged hidden microphone, the risk of not being quick to the custom shop signature to master .. see)
also something to change the vibrato block ... attention, it would seem at odds MIM fender .. just to earn a little more sustain
head of the nut is a kind of plastic, ausi it plays on the sound quality ... to change or not ... up to you
the mechanical side is a visual "cheap" but seems sturdy .. to see in time .. on the other hand, I find it lacking for two models of precision race seems too short ..
last thing the body 60 is in one block, one of 50 in 2 .. it seems to come somewhat at odds with what I just said (maybe) and I do not know if this is a standard for these models ..
anyway, any impact on the natural sustain of 50 ... I say to you .. I love it
these guitars are a good investment and resupply of pbs already are being felt.
for the price, feel free I feel like a series that in the future will have its place of those sought by collectors
