timbre guitar

[Jay_Clones]

Nope, Khalid did'nt buy it (he oredi own a strat/ibanez). He was just doodling around with the guitars at Standardvalue.The video clip was impromptu. Mike of Standardvalue is a super friendly guy and we just hang out there. Top notch customer service...now I'm getting my strings and picks from there.
Khalid's students bought a couple of Timbre guitars though...one white strat and another one which looks like a Jem copy wif monkey grip.
Very suitable guitars for beginners on a tight budget

 

[hakimo]

maybe i'll drop by to try it out
so everything about the guitar is good eh?

 

[pnokio]

So Khalid didn't buy. Kind of odd that an MIJ can't stand up to Timbre!

Yo pnokio

I was wif him when we were a/b ing guitars at Davis some time ago...I dunno maybe dat ST72 Fender Japan strat ( black wif maple neck) was one of those not so good ones. He tried very hard but still could'nt get that twang from ST72. As for Timbre, so far I've tried two at Mike's shop...the rosewood and maple strat sounded good. Even the tele sounded good too...as in quite close to a tele/strat twang.

But the best is to follow your ears...be it high end or low end guitars.

 

[pnokio]

Yup, our ears should be the best judge. But sometimes, vanity gets in the way!

 

[XJAPAN]

Hm so they do have different models..

Does any one know what's the price for the timbre tele and strat? Is it really recommended for both beginners and pros?

[Reth]

Oooh. Prices are increasing! That means it's gonna play better!
I'm tempted to get a timbre strat.. Hey, doesn't the new strat look the same??

 

[Paulo]

@Reth, the specs is diff. all the better, if u went to try it yourself. since theres temptation hehe

Just checked the specs. 1-piece solid alder, bone nut....for under $300......really good value for money lah! If you look at the specs of other budget strat (Squier, TGM, SX, Sammick, Craftsman, etc.), you get 3-5 pieces body, agathis, poplar and plastic nut.

:wink:

 

[bin4christ]

bone nut, alder. awesomeness. but sadly the latter link is of rosewood fretboard.

 

[bin4christ]

guys know ehre these timbres are made?

 

[re_unknown]

the SR-108 one is S-S-S pickups rite?
then why the previous guy said S-S-H and no one corrected him?

 

[ahmad0410]

Which previous guy? Elaborate.

 

[re_unknown]

btw, love miss murder!

 

[Paulo]

tried the sr-200 just now, 1 piece alder body, bone nut, nice slimmer neck, good workmanship. easy to adapt and play. Timbre is MIC.


eh guys, i saw the sr-108 got 2 models.

white body finish, maple fretboard w/ s-s-s config.

black body finish, rosewood fretboard w/ s-s-h config. (cheaper model)

 

[deathism]
