I do not return the Retailer CHARACTERISTICS (see posts previous ones).
Mexico manufacturing, mine is 2005, buy new.
I could compare with an original '73. From the perspective of violin and fittings, the Reissue has nothing to envy the vintage, however. The original is rputes for not holding the tuning ... mcaniques of m. .. easels and no better, frankly not the best PERIOD Fender, admittedly.
The particularity of this guitar is in the handle (of strata) and the pickups (2 humbuckers wide range).
The contacts of the three positions are slecteur plutt fragile. Word of advice, change ds as possible, or else when he has made me!
UTILIZATION
- Channel Saddle trs enjoyable playing with jumbo frets (a little larger than a stick tlcaster). Personally I love even if Access in acute phnomnal is not ... any fawn, I did not go so often that a.
- Fairly heavy, long one ends up feeling in the shoulders but it's even more lightweight than a Gibson. Ergonomics is good, it stands well against the hip, especially with the lgre dcoupe on the back of the body (another advantage over the original).
- For sound, has requested a little more research than other guitars sound particularly wide range can really Drout. Personally, to beginners, j'tais really their sound, too "dull" but with time and especially good rglages, I actually finally found the sound I was looking ever since.
My little mods:
- I replaced all the pots (volume and tone of the original 250k) with 500k more suitable for humbuckers and I really gained gain clarity and especially in the gnrale sound. CONTRL Incomprhensible that the Fender Wide Range of pots with 250k ... by economy, I suppose ... anyway it's much better now and my humbuckers are much more prsence, while keeping the sound close to the single coils.
- The height of the microphones also plays heavily in the balance gnral. To beginners, I had a Difference of level and between the two microphones prsence too large. The neck pickup, the well rounded, covered bridge over the microphone, really "asthmatic". Do not play with hsiter small screws on cts microphones for the sound. For me, this gives: neck pickup flush with cash, lgrement surlev ct acute and pickup dates back to more prs strings (about 2mm, but no more so as re not too kill the sustain)
- The studs microphones are adjustable, they allow, the APRS rglage gnral microphones, refine, rope rope ... important: the direction of the groove of playing on the field plots magntiques and can disrupt the oscillation of the strings, especially if the microphone is placed prs of them. Best rglage is to position the groove through, about 45 relative to the direction of the rope (this gives something like a: / \ / \ / \ or ////// or \ / \ \ / \ ...)
In short, it's a bit of work but in the end, the Wide Range Humbucker, Reissue version, are really not so bad that a and can end up easily find a pure sound "slamming" and "crystalline."
Finally everything is a matter of rglage and frankly this view rglages the "factory" of Fender DSIR really leave!
SOUNDS
Pre-rglages: dcevant, "soft", too dsquilibr neck pickup bridge pickup ok but not safe, compltement "enterrquot;.
- Aprsrglages, a real killing (or, conversely, nirvana). Crystal clear sounds or soft depending on SETTING THE Tone sounds slammin saturated fat or with a lot of depth, which do not go in all directions, not too aggressive. I played on a sound ToneLab + or a small Fender Champ 25 ... distortion level, I go through a Russian Big Muff and I really what I wanted. I think it's a guitar that sounds great in crunch and rpond although the attack and the game also L must vary rglages Volume / Tone according to what is wants ... leave everything blocked out of 10 is passing ct Wide Range of opportunities ... too bad. (
- So plutt for blues, rock, jazz with the possibility to push the saturation a bit but really not the nu metal (you will quickly understand ...), nor to the followers of the game and Hyperclean his: with the Deluxe, it will be limited parking plutt lo-fi. Guitar gniale for post-rock, reggae, punk, noise and noisy express them.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year and I have to fight to get the sound I was looking for without changing the pickups (see rglages) but now, nothing to regret.
Frankly, looking for a Deluxe or the original microphones Wide range of era in time, price or they are found now (on ebay, the microphone is around 200), it's really the DLIR: the reissue b NFIC a violin and a much better quality fittings. The Wide Range of origin (when they are not rinsed compltement ...) sound may be a little better (more EHJV and slamming) but with some of the reissues rglages n ' Phra frankly have not.
