The AST pickup on its own gives a paper-y edge and mic-like realism to the electro voice along with an increase in handling noise. The mid frequency is well aimed, and with some reduction here and a little lift of the treble EQ it's extremely easy to dial in that modern electro scooped zing. The electro performance is well above average and the bass EQ certainly adds a full low depth, but with it comes immense feedback potential. As ever, we'd love to hear this after it's been played in a little more, but the MG75SCE is perfect for supplying a wide rhythm bed. The MG75SCE is all about width with generous but not over-egged, lows, crisp highs and a flatter, even midrange. "The MG75SCE is all about width with generous but not over-egged, lows, crisp highs and a flatter, even midrange" With a slider mix control, volume, three-band EQ and a notch filer, along with an output-muting chromatic tuner with a clear LCD display, it's a very thorough system.īattery access is on the side by the lower strap button, and we have both an unbalanced standard jack output along with balanced XLR.
While the majority of dual systems involve an under-saddle and an internal mic, here we have a thin UST (under-saddle transducer) and a larger AST (acoustic soundboard transducer) that sits directly under the bridge-plate.īoth transducers are made from Emfit ferro- electret film.
Aside from the Alvarez logo, it's the standard OEM B-Band T65 made exclusively to be used on guitars like this. If we're honest, the only thing we'd change are the chunky, electric-like Grover Rotomatic tuners - they're perfectly functional, but seem out of place here.Īs a stage-intended electro, along with a second strap button, we get the so-called SYS650 preamp that controls a dual pickup system. It creates a steep angle for the string behind the saddle and is quite possibly one of the reasons why both our review guitar has a vibrant piano-like ring and sustain. The string grooves in bone nut could be a little lower, and with a 35mm string spread it's not the most spacious, but it's perfectly comfortable, especially for strummers.Ī nicely compensated bone saddle sits atop the 'Bi Level' rosewood bridge with its abalone-dotted ebony pins, which sit in the lower central section. Fretting is good, too the fingerboard edges are actually bound with a separate strip of rosewood so you don't see any fret ends - very typical of modern Chinese craft.
