It's a TV Nocaster 51 "relic" made by the custom shop in 2006. It is aged in the workshops.
Given the beast, you'd go back 60 years ago. The finish is simply bluffing. We like it or not. Personally, I would have preferred one that is not tonchée, but generally it goes (this is not a "heavy relic" of belt worn at once!)
The color "Honey Blonde" is magnificent. Translucency reveals the grain of the wood (alder swamps) contrasts with pulling on the white. Sublime!
A handle that I like. U-shaped, thick throughout, which is well within the catch-with a satin varnish that will not stick. Moreover, the vacuum of his guitar (hear no amp), a perfect balance, owes him much. You can feel the guitar vibrate in itself. It gives the feeling that I can not find my other electric guitars. (A 175 and a Gibson Firebird). The mechanical (also aged), adjust the fine tuning
Micro side, it can be easier ... and more efficient. A round-1 easel
The selector provides
Position 1: Neck pickup with a treble attenuation. Very jazz
Position 2: Neck pickup simply
Position 3: Bridge pickup. A knob (blender) is used to gradually mix two microphones.
The bridge / tailpiece is pretty rudimentary. 3 bridges with two screws each setting. Enough.

UTILIZATION

Whether you are sitting or standing, holding the scraper is nice. No imbalance, and light contributes greatly to the comfort of the game (the sound also!)
The notch below gives good access to acute, despite the thickness of the handle I remain amazed at the ease of play!.

SOUNDS

As I said, no amp, it sounds!
But plugged into an old fender tube .... The slap ... Terrible ... Never heard a sound like that ...
You have to hear it to believe it ... How did I spend next 30 years?
Jazz, blues, to rock, picking ... it's great polyvalent.et same time is very typical.
With the neck pickup was a snapping sound, a round to rival any Gibson with powerful treble and not at all harsh or shrill. The micro acute? Listen to Danny Gatton, Funky mama ... There's nothing to add.
This is a guitar that tamed and wins. It's wild. Each note, each chord is returned cruement. There's no artifice. The slightest hitch does not forgive and you can hear.
Good! To the metal, go your way ... it's not made for the guitar. There is the choice for Ibanez.

OVERALL OPINION

Recently acquired. I tried it by chance on entering a store Zique, and I fell ... 3 hours after fitting. The gus became crazy!
Well, it's a guitar cherrot. I'm going to tighten their belts for a while and resell another skyscraper to compensate. But just for the mouth and the sound I regret it.
I tried another TV latest in the shop, which was not "custom", but there is no comparison. With this model, it goes into hyperspace! is super sonic

Try and use all emergency!
