You know all the features of this model Classic Vibe out there are now more than four years. Success is waiting for you and guitarists of all stripes do not make a mistake. The quality is pretty amazing this price level. Besides, I'd be curious to know how many of these Classic Vibe instruments sold, it must be huge!

UTILIZATION

This is a telecaster with modern sides. The neck profile C, strips and semi jumbo 9-inch radius. By the way have you ever tried a Telecaster or other with a vintage radius of 7.5 inches? Farewell bends beyond a tone because of the radius, the note is muted! Frankly we see here the limits of any vintage at all costs ...

SOUNDS

CHANGES MADE:

It is mainly for this particular point that I write this review. To give you the benefit of my experience with the installation of other mics that those origins. Honestly, they are all at completely honest and sound pretty good. They respect the spirit of the instrument. These are Tone Riders anyway. Recently, I changed to the very classic STL-1 and STR-1 at Seymour Duncan and there my friendz! Depth and purity to fall. The origination microphones tended to nasal side in the upper midrange that certainly may appeal to some, I agree. Now it is purer, crystalline, straighter with deep bass, mids present but not dominant and clear treble and clear. No frequency is predominant, especially on the neck pickup. The pickup of course, is more biting in the midrange (the famous TWANG) but not at the expense of other frequencies. Including remaining present serious and deep. Climbing out the neck pickup from the strings, there is no difference in level between two microphones.

In the light of the serious micro to me good Blues, Jazz and others. What a sound! The deep bass, clear treble. We want to take notes, to vibrate. There's truly a life of the soul in the sound.
The intermediate position is interesting because both pickups blend well without predominance of acute microphone. Picking blues to Marcel Dadi or Stefan Grossman makes sense and solos to Danny Gatton in hybrid picking, we believe it.
The bridge pickup sends all its harmonics and shine in the clear without either aggressive or acidic. As soon as one or the pitcher is saturated, then you shout his joy in the face and your password esgourdes and turn the singing to see angry biting and screaming in the attack that is given to strings. Do not forget that this is a Telecaster on which the frets are placed directly on the handle, it provides a straightforward and clear attack even saturax.
For information I play mostly in a Fender Super Champ XD amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I played it for 4 years but now with these new pickups, I never left and I frankly rediscovered this guitar. You understand that I invite you to try it? With these models Pickup or other naturally.

I would like to acquire the model blond butter scotch and it ride Joe Barden to get closer to the look and sound of the Telecaster my idol Danny Gatton. After, well you have to work the technique he had and then I will have probably some learning his technique phew lives. Too bad he left so early ... RIP DannY
