When I say build, I of course mean bolt together.
I’m a fan of the sounds, but my only problem with the Fender/Squier models is the lack of tone control.
The partscaster has a vol/tone and sorts my problem.
I also fancy trying some Supertrons after seeing a TV Jones demo vid although I'll probably go for The Creamery versions unless a great bargain pops up.
It will also be a Jazzmaster shape. I'm waiting for a couple of quotes to come in for the body and I want to see what black Friday brings before going for it. I've got one pretty good quote so far for either alder or korina.
When I bought it the intention was top give it a go but probably swap for a Classic or Classic Plus. However I played it for a while and it fills a sonic space that no other guitar I own does, so the Powertron has remained.
It probably gets more play time than any other guitar as it sits on a stand in the front room rather than in a case.
I see them as a half way house between a Single and a Humbucker guitar.......easy to manage and no nonsense body
They sound fatter than a normal tele but keep the same vibe and clarity
I much prefer the compromise to P90s which always sound too aggressive in the bridge and too woolly in the neck position.
I think they look good too
