DC-DLX Gotoh Shell Pink : A better version of a SG

2 years ago

Yeah, it is a SG like guitar, but I would say that it is better than original.

Body is slightly thicker and heavier, with almost no neckdive.

The colour looks white, to me, and my 4 friends, so, you really need a great vision to see pink :D

Finish is so matte, that the guitar is slippery, its great for the neck, but it also likes to slip over my leg..

some pros:

- gotoh hardware looks perfect

- guitar stay in tune ( I check it once a day, and its mint)

- pickups are very good, and I will not replace them, ever, bridge is kinda on a brighter side. But all in all very detailed tone...

- love the coil split, I almost use it more than a humbucker mode

- nut is cut like it should

- no frets sticking out of the body, or sharp edges

some cons:

- guitar on the finish have some tiny black spots

- someone leave black fingerprint on tha back of the neck

- frets are scratchy, and they need polishing

- fretboard was very dry, and had some residue, like a glue

- some white tiny dots on the fretboard, near the body

And this which I wont count as cons, you should lower the action by lowering the bridge, and slightly adjust the trusroad because the neck was too flat...

All in all, it's unbeatable price, for a guitar with tusq nut, gotoh hardware, stainless frets, tesla pickups, and dadario strings.
