Custom77 / The Watcher - T-Sonic - YTH / 2014 / Purple / Guitar
|
Capturing the same iconic vibe from The Watcher, the T-Sonic takes an entire different path by using a bolt-on neck, a vibrato and two humbucker pickups.
This Offset design matches perfectly with the alder body and maple neck. Resulting in blend between a Stratish and a Jazzmastish but smoother, beefier and warmer. Pure achievement when coupled to a fuzz or an overdrive : An indy rock tool.
The Watcher T-Sonic takes the best of the F. brand but distinguishes itself from all the other Offsets spin-off and lookalikes.
Lee Ranaldo from Sonic Youth worked with Custom77 on a specific model. Based on The Watcher T-Sonic, they changed pickups configuration to stick to Lee’s regular two Widerange pickups set-up. Curtis Novak®, who’s been working with Lee for years.
Curtis Novak® widerange pickups bring clear, well-defined low end, robust mids and highs that have a wonderfully smooth presence. All unhindered, immediate and full.When pushing the gain envelope, all that richness and complexity tone support and articulate every notes.
Therefore the MBV series is equipped with a Mastery Bridge® M1 bridge and a Mastery Bridge® OMV-P vibrato.
