Custom Line N-150CE BK : What a beautiful instrument!

12 years ago

I have to admit this was an impulse buy, but I do not regret it one bit! Right out of the box it was very playable, with a lovely full sound, which I did not expect as I hadn't ever played a resonator, and this is a fairly cheap instrument. I began doing my regular practice and gigs on this instrument, in place of my original acoustic, which costs roughly twice as much. The electronics system is reliable although a little buzzy, I haven't had chance to test whether this is the pick up or the electronics yet, although I suspect it i =s the electronics as the pickup is a humbucker. I took this guitar to a variety concert and it was used over an electric guitar (albeit for jazz) immediately. In fact, everyone at the concert used this guitar in place of their own! The actual quality of the build is excellent, all sturdily constructed including a very reliable fret board. The only problem IO had was that the bridge was not glued down at all,(it had been held on from string pressure) so it fell into the resonator chamber and took a while to get out. This is more of a caution than a criticism, other than that an amazing buy!
