New guitar sound test


MR GIBS

Recommended Posts

Since I first saw them I just wanted it...

Could not afford an original hand built by the master Tony Zemaitis...

 

Couldn't keep buy that one.

It was not easy for me to buy a Zemaitis Acoustic online.

I could do it at last and I suppose I did it because of their change to "Zemaitis Generation 2".

The instrument is made in China (don't know where exactly).

Strings are D'Addario EXP 12-54. The pic is Dunlop Tortex 0,60.

The video recorder is ZOOM Q3 HD. The mic is on high level position.

Enjoyed that and thank you for the demo. What the specs on her, i assume its rosewood back and sides, long scale ?

 

From what i hear it excels as a strummer and holds it own as a fingerstylist. The high end notes come through particularly well, but i would like to hear a bit more bass. Perhaps consider using mids for the bass strings to give a bit more bottom end presence.

 

Meanwhile that bridge and soundhole are off the chart ... !

It is as you have mentioned a spruce top (relatively high grade) and rosewood back&sides (east indian I guess). Rosewood fret board & bridge. The bridge pins are plastic (I will change them). I think the nut and the saddle are real bone. The tuners I don't know what they are and I don't like them very much. Think I will change them with some Gotoh. The guitar is really loud. I feel there is enough bass inside. Maybe I did not "extract" that bass very well this time. And for sure these strings are not the right one for this instrument. I will try some Martins 12-54 Ph Br and some Elixirs 12-56 Ph Br too. In the end I will install a K&K Triniti Mini sound system inside.

The guitar is brand new and is made in china. I will "tone rite" this instrument later.
