florian_tennstedt's Metal Music Gear Setup

I have a 2007 model with a P100 in TV Yellow, it says custom shop, but I guess it's just a branding. I love it anyways,. I was sceptical about the Pickup, but for what I can say it has a good sound for punkrock. The clean sound is not so much '57ish, like the old Gibsons with P90s, the P100 is rather made for punk than for blues. This guitar is a great tool for playing crunch sounds, light-weight body and comfortable neck with good intonation and reasonable string height. Tone and Volume Pots are doing their job, I can't complain about anything.

This guitar has a late 70s/early 80s Fender American Telecaster-Body and a Rockinger neck (Maple with Rosewood fingerboard). It has an original Fender Singlecoil in the ashtray and a DiMarzio Humbucker on neck position. This guitar does what a Tele does and she does it really good. I love her.

You got it right, I assemled this guitar myself for about 100€. I bought a red no-name SG-style body with electrics, mechanics and PU's for about 30€, ditched the PU's, scratched off the paint and painted it again. A friend of mine gave me his Ibanez GAX Humbuckers for free and because LP/SG-style necks were too expensive i got a Tele-style neck with tuners for about 35€. It was a bit tricky to move the bridge to match the fender scale, but it worked out pretty well. It's my guitar with the best intonation and the bridge that came with the body is clearly better than that of the Harley Benton I own. It's not comparable to a real SG or sth like that, but it's my first partscaster and I am very proud of it.

Seriously, it's probably to loud to play it in your room, but the garage might be the proper place for it unless you use headphones which is not that great of a sound, but if your kid sleeps next door and you're in the urge of a riff it will do ok. This amp is very top end based and not in a good way so i recommend the treble to be set very low. The reverb is ok but mine adds a lot of hiss to the sound, the more reverb the more hiss. It has a clean and a crunch channel which both sound ok for a transistor amp. It was 50€ and for that price it's ok to have one, I use it for late night headphone sessions only, I once tried it in band context and it was clipping to hard before having a competetive volume -> Garage

It's a cheaper FZ-2. I really dig the 1.5 mode, great sound. The enclosure is plastic, but if you don't jump on it with boots of concrete it will last a while.

Despite it is a hard-clipper you can get very smooth overdrive sounds from it, also try it on rather much gain and then dial back the volume of your guitar. Also sounds great when hit by another low gain OD like a Bluesbreaker 2 or an Boss SD 1, or by another distortion (DS-1 for example). It takes some time to dial in a good sound, but when you have it you don't want anything else.

It does it's job. There's no humming or any other problems. Comes with a ton of cables (very useful is the yellow Y-cable). It costs like 35$ new (35€ in Germany) but you can get them for about 15$/€ used. I have one on each of my two boards.
