 Model E/A-3 in |
The Guitar Factory Electric/Acoustic(Comments from April 1991 Guitar Player Magazine) Neck: The laminated neck consists of an attractive maple and purple heart center strip surrounded by lengths of quartersawn mahogany. The woods in the center strip contribute weight, stiffness, and brightness to the neck; lamination adds stability. The neck meets the body cuaway at the 19th fret on the bass side and at the 24th on the treble side. Access to the uppermost frets feels effortless. The neck is fairly slim and evenly rounded. The fingerboard...has a rather flat radius. Position markers are 1/4" in diameter mother of pearl dots. ...The entire instrument is finished in a clear gloss that shows off all its lovely grain. Electronics: The E/A's Bartolini magnetic pickups are mounted in solid wood. A Fishman transducer, which captures the instruments acoustic timbres, is located in the bridge. A two position microswitch allows you to choose either the electric, or acoustic sound.The pickup volume pot has a push/pull switch to select single output or dual output mode. In single output mode, the electric or acoustic sound is routed to the main output jack. In dual output mode, the electric sound is routed to the main output jack, and the acoustic sound is routed to the second jack mounted adjacent to the main jack. This allows dual sound for even more tonal variations. |
