gilles-coyote « Better than "real"! »
Published on 01/20/11 at 04:24Japanese manufacturing in 1988. In other words, with many U.S. components. In fact, everything except the pickups, which are altogether excellent bill ...
C handle, one piece maple. Varnish on top, glazed button, vintage frets. Mine is equipped with a Wilkinson bridge with 3 brass saddles individually adjustable for each string and mechanical Goldo.
For the rest, 3 position, 2 pickups, 2 knobs as required.
She was stripped and reduced to raw wood. Then I just moved to Balm Antiques to bring out the blond color and protect wood. The record is superb and makes me say that the wood used are of excellent quality.
UTILIZATION
The handle is on top. The rear is weathered to perfection and the varnish will not stick at all. The key is also painted and it boosts the slamming of this guitar.
The guitar is perfectly balanced and not so heavy that it (obviously Ash). I heard the beast set upon purchase. The action is low, curling free and mini vintage do not fret too much pressure on the button to play. The result is a terrible game comfort. With a radius of 9.5, we end up with a slightly curved handle end and fast ... A delight.
For sound, the neck pickup is fantastic. The blues is undoubtedly his favorite fields. The sound is round, warm and filled with deep bass. Provided the harmonics are easily accessible. Side bridge, the twang is by appointment but I think the mic may be a bit tight. It has less personality than his college Neck ... However, in an intermediate position, we get a balanced sound that suits good rhythm rock! To the funk, the bridge pickup has done its job but does not reach the heights of slamming a good Start ...
SOUNDS
For styles and sounds, see above ... With home boss sd1 (overdrive), the sound is huge stick without drooling. SRV has to behave themselves (except for my technique!).
I play mostly on a rotary speaker amp type fairly neutral (but powerful 150w) which has no natural saturation, it is a transistor. So I play with lots of effects. From multi-effects pedals and other type Boss. A "dry" without effect this, the guitar is clear and filled the whole spectrum: From severe acute. Especially on the neck pickup. The bridge pickup gives it about slamming and twang like a great (but without much power, it's true).
OVERALL OPINION
I've had four months and played almost every day. I returned from the U.S. qd I came across this opportunity. I was out there tried a lot of U.S. TV models. I wanted a guitar that had lived and did not find ... No kidding, once set, this guitar seemed quite 'natural', affordable and enjoyable. it is not explained, except that a good instrument is a good instrument. It must however agree to its owner. The fact that they have spent tps adjustments, skating the table and other care is probably qque thing ...
TV is an excellent guitar but I had to try several before finding one that suited me. I do not want to stop there ... I designed a Thinline now!
