I have owned this guitar out in the 90 United States and signed by Bettencourt Himself, I bought this guitar-music Jym (Pigalle), Paris. It is in every way comparable to the N4 ash, apart from the body in this fantastic Korina, there is a handle with ebony fingerboard, head thrown back, stamped floyd Washburn, two microphones, Bill Lawrence and Seymour Duncan. It comes in a beautiful case, accompanied by various documents, and also the photo of Nuno, this photo shows him to sign a guitar, m'enfin the works! In his guitar case is covered with a thick black struck a splendid washburn.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, access to acute is perfect, the interface is extra. It is made to play metal on the edge and can spill over into other styles, but it's still very typical, but this is a default for this scratch? I do not think so.
SOUNDS
It is suitable for the particular metal, it said, using the intermediate position, plugged into a Fender twin reverb, you can go to sounds "hendrixiens" not so distant also certain sounds "Bettencourt." In clean sounds, same, according to the amp, you can have certain sounds not so bad. This guitar is perhaps less typical than one might imagine in spite of the simplicity of the Electone, because here no push-push to separate the dual microphones for clear sound strat-style. I quite like the sound of this guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
It's handmade, it says on the instructions supplied with it to say that this guitar was made by hand, the precious wood (korina) was chosen by Mr. Bettencourt Himself is also marked on the record. Nuno has talent with his guitar, but he's trained as a luthier to have such skills .... (Washburn here are a little inflated, think big foutage of mouth that makes me angry).
This guitar deserves a very special accessit as it is in some ways .... huge marketing, totally unacceptable.
Well yes, I am sarcastic on this guitar, which actually is disappointing in relation to the price paid is very expensive photo, and signature of the marker Nuno. I think it's a marketing coup among others. I can only blame Washburn, this practice limited edition "bottle" is widespread among many manufacturers, everyone has the right to think what he wants. CONCERE me, I have my own opionion, Limited ....... to avoid.
Does Bettencourt played a Korina?
I do not think so. Bettencourt played on the models could not be more std. Still, this guitar can be endearing, but it deserved more care, and again, I repeat, be supplied with a floyd and a acastillage worthy of the purchase price ....
No, Bettencourt does not play on a Korina, nor others like "limited", to be taken literally and figuratively ....
I bring the same conclusion as my "ash", namely that the concept of this guitar deserves better in terms of build quality. For all I am disappointed by the work and the care given to this very plain guitar, as I think this guitar for its concept, its handle, its microphones, etc. .. a guitar is worth that one is interested.
My opinion is intended as sincere and constructive, it is not to devalue an instrument, but one can legitimately Assen has a constructor for the truths he makes good use. I read reviews, or are fans with a vengeance on 10/10, I find it downright childish, in other words my electric train is the most beautiful of all electric trains in the world and certainly more beautiful than the floor from below, it will be understood that with this kind of approach, we will not advance the schmilblic!
