MS-60 VW Vintage Series : ...short action...

9 years ago

...already very tiny bits of rust on the strings and on the whammy construction.. the whammy bar falls out if you lean forward... the neck is narrow and a bit rough...

the neck has a chunky feel to it as if larger than it actually is... the thin paint on the back of the neck was already coming off which I think was nice... why they glossed the neck-plate is beyond me... setting the string height was the easiest ever, just turn the little wheels under the bridge. the intonation was alright... I played this with a Vox AC10C...

the pickups work well together, switching from neck to bridge you need to adjust the volume up because the bridge pickup cannot be adjusted up nearer to the strings... even here if you tweak your tone long enough you will find a sweet spot...on their own you will soon find out that the pickups are at their limit and after a while the feeling of cheap and pretty lifeless persists when you have played more upmarket guitars or the real thing even though this looks very attractive indeed in that price-range and it is there probably without competition....but my hands are too big and my ears are too old and that is why this is not for me...
