Always feels a bit awkward trying them with the salesman coming back and asking what I think. Puts me off trying them out unless I'm actually visitconsid buying it that day.
Before PMT bought Nevada Music the guitar room was great, all reachable and mostly unlocked. You could spend hours in there and I bought a few guitars off them.
The guitars stored out of the dedicated room were not so good, the strings seemed to tarnish quickly due to the uninsulated space they were in, must have got moist in the night / morning.
PMT have sorted that out and the staff are much better trained (same staff as before) than under Nevada. Also the store is much better organised.
But, despite the refit it feels to me a much less welcoming place to try guitars.
Got an example of what you mean by this @Sassafras ?
Lovely guitar. At the time I bought it, it was a noticeable step-up from the basic Mexican Fenders. I haven't compared with the Indonesian made ones, to compare quality. I think the Mexican Fenders are better quality now than they once were.
Mine has a middle-sized Fender-ish C shaped neck, which is very nice. Not the greatest Fender style neck I've played (which have been on expensive US made models), but still very nice to play.
I think the big MFDs are fantastic pickups, but they may not suit everyone. They don't have that slightly hollow 'papery' sound that I associate with the best Fender single coils (a sound I really like). It's a bigger more hifi sound, with more bottom end, and a smoother top. Lovely, though.
ASAT Special?
What does it sounds like? I’m guessing that not having the traditional Tele type bridge means that it sounds a bit less ‘twangy’ than a regular Tele?
