Hallo
i have many different guitars. A fender strat and a Gibson Lp. Now i buy a Fender Showmaster to have a different voice, with the 5 way switch.
I have buyt via Net and it looks nice, and plays good.
With clean sound it sounds good. But with distorded sound also at different volume it sound crap. I have testet with a Roland X30 and a Marshall valve amp.

I meen the sound is to thin and not full like the LP. And also to matched.
The Strat sound mutch more bether with singelcoil then this Showmaster.

Maybe if i chanche the Pickup with a differnt pickup it sounds bether?
Or i must chance the full electronic. (switch potis etc.)
And is it bether to put more steel spring in. It have only 2 in.

Thank you.
Nic

I dunno what to say, I've always heard nice reviews on that one, maybe you just got a dud. Oh well, I bet EMGs or something'll get a good sound :wink:

Maybe it just isn't the guitar for you? You say you're looking for a different voice but complain that it's not full sounding like a LP? Maybe a PRS is more your style? A Ric perhaps?

Hallo
a PRS why not, but the 5 way rotary Knopf is nothing for me. But also i think it is a little to expensiv.
I have checket a Schecter Classic C1 and for me it sounded ok. Then i have checket a Satriani it was nice but i want with a 5 way switch. No luthier around here.

So i thinking that the Fender can be ok. I know is corea made but it even a Fender.

so i real don´t know how i can resolve, or maybe bether send it back. And check a ESP or somthing else. :roll:
