![]() With a little overdrive, neck pickup, j ' feel I tease the sound of Alvin lee in the album Ten years after "recorded live" with the tremolo in the twin, I am at Neil Young. All the defects of this guitar, small buzz of the bridge etc. I play this guitar plugged into a twin reverb (65 reissue), and out comes a huge blues sound, rugged, dynamic and warm as I never had known. But it is the neck pickup that attracted me. The sound is vintage arch, burning in neck and sour and very personal in the bridge. I had never played archtop and it was the slap while I was rather looking for a solid-body. ![]() I bought this guitar after having tried among many others in store. Issues of disagreement were anyway not possible. Well, it is the job of fine tuning but this is much better. You must also adjust the height of microphones, pads, I can tinker rings pickups to raise the bridge pickup closer to the strings. I solved the problem by carefully filing the gorges of Nut, the bridge, greasing all that the graphite mine and putting a (very) large drawing. Personally my guitar did not take the deal. Oh, it takes a little time to tame the floating bridge. But hey, this is a greater focus public and others enjoy. On a guitar vintage inspiration, the choice of neck profile seems incomprehensible. I find it too late in the hand and also with a flat profile too. Precisely on the handle, I do not agree with the main body. I decided to post my opinion on this guitar because it differs much point on everything I read. Needless to reconsider everything, others have done before me. I play it through a 5 watt Bugera tube amp and it really sounds sweet! It is a gorgeous guitar and I love it now that it's staying in tune! I don't know if I just got a bad one, but from other reviews I've read it seems that others have had problems with the tuners on this model. ![]() Now about a year later for some reason it's settled in and finally is staying in tune. ![]() It got a little better but still didn't stay in tune that well. I spent a lot on set ups and then replaced the tuners with good Grover ones. The main problem I've had with this guitar is that it came with very cheap tuners and it never stayed in tune. The treble pickup has a little less bite and is lower but not bad. The sound is very warm, especially the bass pickup. This neck isn't that thin and I now use 011s on my first E string and I still can bend and get good vibrato with it. I usually like very thin necks with light strings. I never liked Gretsch guitars before but when I saw it I had to pick it up, and when I played it I fell in love! The neck on this guitar fit me like a glove. ![]()
