It also has a chunky neck with a flattish board, so it's a wonderful guitar, if not as vintage stratty as you'd think. The Cunetto has the SSL-1C bridge pup, so if I want a pure single coil, it wins. OK- my CS strats are Cunetto (jay Black built) and a Gilmour (and a John Cruz built tele) Are there any actives on it? How does it compare to your CS Fenders? I adore the colour.ĭon't think its an RH2 as would have similar tone control layout to RH4. RH2? It's literally my go-to, it's the first guitar I pick up to soundcheck or to check a new bit of gear and I have 3 Masterbuilt Fender CS relics. Lovely guitar, but I don't think this is an RH4 - it has gold hardware, mirrored scratch plate and one tone, one volume control. Don't buy the new headstock Korean ones for anything over £350, as all you need to do is wait for another. A good MIJ or MISwitz willbe between 400-600. They are simply the most versatile bargain instrument of modern times.
I would tell you had it got Fender on the headstock, it would have been 1450. So, based on first para above, as luck would have it I managed to snare exactly the same guitar on eBay a few months back for £450. Think of it as to a strat what a Yamaha SA2200 is to a 335 (far, far superior at the same price level) The bodies are always light, well figured, the finish spectacular, the electroics outstanding, and the neck and fretboards are perfect. Maybe not quite Suhr or Anderson, but not far off. The thing is no-one in either camp 1 or 2 would deny that his Swiss and Japanese models are of the finest quality made. Now, mine was a Swiss one, RH4 in Panama Red (which is in fact dark translucent blue), HSS, midboost, coil tap.) There are two schools of thought:ġ) That Gary Levinson improved every little niggle one associates with a vintage of standard strat- more stable trem, 22 frets, graohite nut, neck heel access etc.Ģ) That Gary Levinson's improvements removed the Strat fight and you may as well buy an Ibanez. If you persist across zoning there, will definitely try this skyscraper.I've absolutely loved Blades since 1994 ish when John Ellis (ex Stranglers) introduced me to them as he was endorsed (his was black, black, black, naturally).then Musical Exchanges loaned me one, and I kinda forgot to take it back for around a year, it was that good. Euros announced for 1460 is admirable and deserves here.

This is the perfect guitar for the pro studio or its sub account for lovers looking for a good guitar that will not change often. On a par with most of the cream of great folk guitars up to 3000 euros, but with a little more ease of play all at a very competitive price. In fact, simply put, the LD-47 was on the verge of my references, the Martin HD-28 and the Guild JF-55. It will be said diplomatically "it does not lack." It's not a large auditorium, either, but it is sending. It also does not cross the ropes when you attack, what I like personally very much.Īs for power, we are in the right average dreadnought. It has a grain a bit softer, which runs a bit higher in the medium without running out of race to attack. Compared with the cream of the cream of Martin, Levinson gives less grain. All frequencies arrive with a little more air without losing significant ground. It is the rope that is not highlighted, but the air. The Gary Levinson is clearer, but here we must understand "brighter". I apologize for not having also noted the reference to that guitar. I would still insist that it is simply left to play the 3000 ball to Taylor that the maker had put aside. Comfort also in high positions of the handle. It reminded me a little stick of white falcon gretsch (neither large nor end, nor big, but really effective). Tested directly next to Furch, Taylor and Normann, the Gary Levinson has a handle moderately large, moderately thick, but that falls perfectly to hand and around which rotates without worry.
I have not looked if the guitar was balanced, I tend to throw myself on acoustic, in any case very slight.īut the grip of the handle was a real reference. Shrinking perfectly finished, no zinc plating, even in the most extreme positions.
Oh yes, the handle was very nice, and this is a good instrument. The difference you will see, will come earlier. Good solid Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, ebony fingerboard beautiful, beautiful solid pine table, no smudges, nothing chiard, x reinforcements made goods as well (always look in acoustic, always). The LD47 is downright shocking to see land. Perhaps it is a registered affiliate of Blade, I know. To fix it all, I have not found a site on Gary Levinson. Gary Levinson is indeed a brand maker, producing guitars in small quantities. I do not know if I have already put this guitar in the right brand.
