TrevorR Posted Thursday at 15:31 Posted Thursday at 15:31 (edited) Speaking of Superlight TTs… this popped into the inbox today… Super chuffed as it was listed originally for delivery by the end of April, so gaining a few months on it is great news. As a new build, ordered last September, I’m a little intrigued to see whether it will have the solid paulownia body or the newer maple core with paulownia wings design that they announced over the summer. Not worried either way but it adds an additional little element of surprise into the anticipation. Can’t wait to give it a run out a church on Sunday evening and at the weekly jam on Monday.

TrevorR Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago (edited) Well, it’s here… came home this lunch time and discovered that they’d delivered it early - fortunately they’d stashed it behind our bins - not taken it back to the depot. Phew. I have to say that I love it. It looks and sounds great and, of course, the feel of the neck is wonderful. It’s the all-paulownia version but none the worse for that. The sound is in just the Jazz territory that I like with bounce and spring in all the right frequency ranges. Lovely. I’ll be using it at church tomorrow evening and then again at the Weekly Monday Jam on Monday so I will report back on the sound… but I do not expect to be disappointed. Oh yeah… and the number you all want to know… 2.8kg / 6.2lbs which is daft but it still feels great on a suede backed leather strap. No neck dive discernible at all. Love it so far!

pineweasel Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Very nice. You may not have the new body construction, but you do have the new bridge, the first one I’ve seen in the wild. Quote
