General

As part of the Classic Vibe Series, Squire finally offer an attainable version of the rare mythical beast that was the '70s semi-acoustic Starcaster! This irksome offset has its own nonchalantly airy yet potent amplified sound that combines seamlessly with its incredibly warm and fuzzy playing feel. This certified Squire is mounted with two Fender Wide Range Humbucking pickups, the fullness of which can be padded out or pulled back using the three-way selector switch and individual tone and volume pots. The C-profile neck is finished with slightly-higher-than-average frets and a flatter fretboard radius, making fast note work and swift chord transitions that bit easier. The Classic Vibe Starcaster is nothing short of a visual and tonal delight.

Wrote the following about Squier Classic Vibe Starcaster Natural MN

Il devient de plus en plus difficile de faire la différence entre les guitares « bon marché » et les autres !
La fabrication est pratiquement irréprochable, les binding sont très propres, les frettes sont bien finies, il faut vraiment regarder à l’intérieure de la guitare (et chercher la petite bête) pour trouver des petites imperfections, qui n’ont aucune importance.
La guitare est bien réglée d’usine avec une action très basse, un poil limite, mais en conséquence la guitare est très facile à jouer. Le manche est typique fender et ne dépaysera pas les amateurs de la marque.
Les micros sont souvent le point faible des guitares de cette gamme de prix, mais ici c’est le contraire ils sont le point fort de l’instrument. Le rendu sonore est différent des humbucker habituels, avec plus d’aigu et de définition mais sans avoir le côté claquant des simples bobinages. On se retrouve vraiment entre les deux avec à la fois la clarté des simples et la rondeur des doubles, c’est particulier mais très intéressant. Le niveau de sortie est modéré et le tout donne un côté très vintage.
Les sont clairs sont particulièrement beaux, la guitare réagit également très bien aux saturations légères ou forte (voir métal). Bon n’espérez quand même pas faire du Djent avec, elle n’est pas faite pour. Par contre un petit Maiden ou Ghost passera très bien. On pourra donc avoir beaucoup de versatilité, mais toujours avec un « petit quelque » chose de différent. Le sustain est long et il y a moyen de faire « chanter » la guitare facilement. Malgré la demi-caisse le feedback est très contrôlable. Il faut plutôt le provoquer volontairement, on obtient alors des sons « intéressants ». Les « noiseurs » de tous poils devrait y trouver leur bonheur.
En conclusion une bonne guitare bien faite, facile à jouer, avec une vraie personnalité aussi bien au niveau visuel que sonore. Pour guitariste à la recherche d’originalité à prix (très) raisonnable.

Speelt heerlijk, mis alleen een warm geluid in de lage regionen. Heerlijke hals. Een brug met hoogte afstelling per snaar was beter geweest. Prijs kwaliteit echter helemaal ok

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
