R Alpha Class « Good scratching strong character »
Published on 08/17/12 at 10:44Manufacturing USA.
Mahogany body, carved chambers of resonance.
Micros simple DeArmond.
Volume and tone knobs for each pickup, three-position selector in the upper body.
Maple neck with 22 frets, rosewood fingerboard.
UTILIZATION
The handle is comfortable, a bit round in the clubs without giving Gibson.
The guitar is well balanced. Access to treble is done without too much trouble. That said, I do not play the blues or Satriani in Clapton, then access the treble beyond the 15th case ...
SOUNDS
When empty, the guitar sounds great already. The violin is really high quality (much higher number of brand new TV I occasionally dabbles in stores zik).
There is a beautiful resonance and brilliance predominance.
Once connected, the comparison with the Telecaster stops. DeArmond gives the sound a cross between Fender / Gretsch and Gibson. Less fat than a Gibson P90. More heat than TV. And rock'n'roll side of Gretsch.
The sharp edge without being garish, the intermediate position gives pop sounds, the microphone in serious plays records jazzmen.
OVERALL OPINION
I for nearly two years now. I almost got rid of them, but the high quality violin has strongly advised me to keep it. Well I took.
As I work in a noisy trend rock record, I changed DeArmond - who lacked aggressiveness, I thought - for mini-humbuckers Gibson Firebird. Since then, she roars ... and it is wild.
