BigTone Trem Vintage Orange : excellent value and looks to kill for

i recieved my harley benton bigtone vintage orange only yesterday, and thought i would give it a trial run at my gig tonight.

i also took my usual guitars (a hofner solid with paf?s, and an electroacoustic by earthfire) , and reckoned i would use the bigtone for a few songs, before giving it a decent setup.

well!!!, i used the harley benton for the full 3 hour gig, and didn?t pick the other guitars up at all.

i work in spain and use backing tracks covering rock n roll, pop, country and rock.

i expected some problems with feedback when i used distortion (line 6 pod), but the guitar handled every song i played ,chuck berry riffs, country twang,chorused pop, even zz top

as a rockabilly guitarist the looks more than fit the bill, and the photos on your site didn?t do the guitar justice, i will probably replace the pickguard and truss rod cover with a nice mother of pearl to match the fretboard inlays, and with a little tweak or two to the pickup height etc, this guitar is a definite keeper

to sum up, the guitar looks terrific, plays well, and i was very surprised at its versatility

for a budget copy of a gretsch that has obviously inspired it, i have nothing but praise
