Very different from my two Strats An American Vintage '57 reissue and a Custom Shop Masterbuilt NOS '56 but I find that the three of them really compliment each other and together make the perfect line-up for guitar instrumentals. Of the three, though, I have to say it's the Masterbuilt every time when it comes to the authentic early Shads sound. Of course, I still love my Gibsons, too! Incidentally, I agree with you about the side dot markers but I actually like my guitars to be on the heavy side.
I initially didn't like the set up but I changed to 's and reset the guitar up and I am very very pleased with the sound. Certain songs get a much closer sound than my strat' Which I had made up here by a tech then into my Ac 30 TB. The only probs I've had is the gold on the saddle bottom E has started to wear off after only about 1 hours playing.

It comes complete with a case and the accompanying candy includes a numbered certificate of authenticity hand-signed by both Shadows guitarists, along with an Apache key ring! Only are being produced and - naturally enough - this newcomer shares many features with its Marvin mates, such as the distinctive scroll headstock. On the prototype example reviewed this sports Sperzel locking tuners, but production examples will employ Burns' equivalents. The impressively figured maple neck features the 'C' profile and mainstream proportions found on previous models, likewise the compound radius fingerboard, although here it's ebony and clad in pearl binding with an Apache block inlay at the 12th position.
All 21 medium-slim frets are excellently prepared and, true to tradition, a zero version sits ahead of the synthetic nut to ensure lowest possible playability. Overall playability is typically A1, with the smooth ebony surface providing a precise feel. The neck is firmly fixed via four screws and these are hidden beneath an engraved plastic plate, along with access to the truss-rod adjuster.
To be fair, the Fender Stratocaster suffers from much the same problem, and fans of vintage Burns guitars would no doubt look askance at any attempt to radically alter the original design. Constructed from a single section of handsomely figured Canadian hard rock maple, the neck has a comfortable C-shaped profile that, not surprisingly, reminds us of the necks found on early s Fenders.
The use of a zero fret as on the original Marvin relegates the nut to the role of a string spacer. A white pearloid plastic plate at the heel conceals the four cross-head screws that secure the neck to the body, and removing it provides access to the truss rod adjustor.
Having removed the plastic heel-plate, a special tool supplied with the guitar can be used to adjust the geared mechanism — clockwise to correct a hump and anti-clockwise to correct a bow. The review model serial number is in fact a prototype.
Production models will be numbered from up to Underneath the bridge plate, each string is anchored in a separate hollow tube hence the name , and the design is said to enhance tone and sustain.
