Tony Rocket Custom Status Quo Replica Guitars
www.tonyrockettguitars.co.uk/replicas_realtime.htm
How accurate is your replica?
n lucky to have made 3 Guitar by Tony rocket.
1 Finesse model Ricks( not longer made
2 Rick Parfitt Schecter - Non-Relic
3 Rick Parfitt 'Main' Guitar relic.
I am amazed at the quality of the replicas Guitar They are hand made( ie not bought as parts).
My review of ricks main tele
Where do we start with Tony Rockett Custom Guitar?
The looks of Guitar are better in reality than with photos.
This handmade Guitar gives added advantage over assembly the Guitars, as Tony has used American hard ash wood, hence it will a far better tone. I`m no expert in woods (over the years I have read about how some woods can effect sounds)
The relic and paint job seems to me to, near as anyone can get to ricks Tele, like the Scratch plate, the missing pain job, and the small cracks of paint that is missing with Ricks Guitar adds to feel of relic Guitar, oh and the Lego wheels for volume pot. And finely the aged look like back of the fret board.
The woods and pickups combined give`s that Guitar the quo sound and feeling (As we all know that we are different, and will never get close to ricks sound of playing). Even my playing won`t sound like rick, but like most players as long as have soul and feeling that what count in the end.
From the video demo we can hear that wonderful full bodied sound. Like the pickup dynamics (Soft and loud), the power chords that ring on, the beautiful warm sound or the raging tight punchy sound of Rick`s style boogie chords.
The single notes Treble or Bass string, are very clear and tight. Even the boogie chords come through tight and clean.
The Guitar has that acoustic quality likes ricks (even unplugged you hit chords and it sound loud!)
. The cut away ash Tray Bridge and Gibson tail piece , seem spot on ( The Badass bridge !)
The action is just sublime as it is very low (The string is same as ricks set up i.e. , .14 G wound to a .56) , and even bar chords are easy to play ( I know from experience that if action is a tad too high it make bar chords unbearable to hold and play, then again we are all different )
The frets and neck feel extremely conferrable (Once you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down), even at the Caroline Opening F chord sounds spot on (Like some guitar that I have, tends to have problems at the end of Guitar)
Tony you are a star with all the hard work and attention to detail. Thank so much from the bottom of my rock n roll soul. Just can’t get enough of playing this Guitar.
Come with a fanatic hard case (It would take a Tank to destroy that case)
Hail Hail Tony Rockett.
Value for money, oh yes cheaper than a 52 Tele reissue. Enough said!
Rick Parfitt Schecter - Non-Relic This video is not very good ( as i was tyring songs form memory )
Hear is a demo of this classic guitar that rick used( see live at the NEC 1982, knewbour 1991 ie Dirt water)
This is a fatastic guitar!
Where do I begin with the Schecter Replica??
When the guitar arrived and opened the guitar case, the stunning Guitar was Shining like a star!! Breathtaking and lost for words
The Guitar look like million dollars!!!
The quality of the guitar is 1st class, the attention to detail is second to none
The stunning finish of the body wood( American walnut) that sells it for me, that to me is very unusual( like Ash or alder wood act) and the weight of the guitar is very heavy( mind that is a very good thing, as it give lot's more sustain , believe it does , it really sings reminds me of les paulcharacteristics)
Fret board very lovely feel to it, and action seems spot on( Fitted .14 to .56 tramlines)
Tuning pegs gold plated, they are very precise when tuning the guitar.
when plugged in that's when the magic begins, i.e. the pickups of the guitar
the volume of the amp was set to about .10 .
clean sound the 1/4 pounder picks does the business it handle the bottom end , lovely when played clean .
And with distortion very clear and punchy, and the sustain when hitting open chords ( they seem to ring on for good while)
Value for money
For a hand built guitar this got be
10/10
Final word thank so much Tony rocket for making the ranges of guitar, I more that sure previous costumers would think the same. And for keeping the cost down, where can we find hand made guitars with that amount of attention to detail ??
This will cherished as long as live!!!
Tony if you want you can put this link on as well( I won`t be offended if it not put up, just tried think of quick way of trying a demo)
