The No.1 website for musicians
£149; Basswood body; American maple bolt-on neck; rosewood fingerboard: 24.75" scale; 2 x Alnico V vintage-style humbuckers; 2 x volume, tone, 3-way pickup selector; chrome hardware; solid metallic black, powder blue or velvet red finish
OK, so she won’t do it for metallers - the neck ain’t fast enough and the semi-hollow body doesn’t thrive on filth - but anyone else should seriously consider this axe.
We loved Delia’s individual looks, found moving chords and riffs over the neck really comfortable, thanked the sweet baby Jesus for the comparatively light mass and were knocked out by the characterful tone of those ’buckers.
Played clean, they deliver a stunning warmth that brings authenticity to your Byrds riffs, while pushing them takes you closer to the ragged roar of vintage Pete Townshend.
4 Stars
Pros: Visual flair and classy rock tone.
Cons: Not one for metallers.
