DC-DLX Gotoh Pelham Blue : Another great guitar - Updated review after several months

4 years ago

4th HB guitar and, not sure if by luck, all have been perfect and this one as well.

Somehow, was expecting a lighter shade of blue. Everything was spot on, coil split is nice feature as well. Good build quality, nothing serious to point out. Frets could need some polishing, but that was it.

Update on earlier review (have now had it a couple of months):

- The blue Pelham colour has grown on me and quite like the gold on blue design - very striking and attracts lots of attention

- Stays in tune perfectly

- The Tesla pickups are fantastic, extremely nice and much better (to my ears) than the Roswell's on other guitars

- The coil-split produces quite usable tones

- If you don't already have an SG, this is a very serious option to consider (it compares favourably, and even beats, other brands that cost much more)

- Unbeatable value for money and has permanent place in my rack
