Members metallica_00 Posted August 2, 2009 Members Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've had the pleasure of playing a few of their US-made guitars at their showroom. Really nice and very unique guitars - top notch stuff and yours seems like no exception. The imports, even the more expensive ones, a real mixed bag, erring more towards the bad side of things. They've got their own vibe going on for sure! How do you like it? Very pretty, and nice pics too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pretty, and nice pics too It's my 2nd US model, I also have a Delia I've found locally as well. Given that First Act doesn't get much exposure here in Europe I was surprised to find them on eBay. A shop in the UK is currently blowing out 2 US models (Lola & Sheena), but there doesn't seem to be much interest except for a few people which post here and have heard of the brand. It's a wonderful guitar, I was shocked when I got the Delia so I've become somewhat of a First Act fan. This guitar didn't let me down either. Very well made, resonant, sweet sounds. Can't wait to see what other models they come up with in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted August 2, 2009 Members Share Posted August 2, 2009 I was jealous when you got the Delia, now I'm just doubly so. That Sheena is just stunning and I know you wouldn't buy another if they weren't just exceptional guitars. Can you elaborate a little on the tonez and the differences?

It has a raunchy single-coil in the neck position contrary to the Delia which has 2 humbuckers. The bridge pickup can be switched to parallel mode which removes much of the low-end. It's more versatile then the Delia. Like I told you last time though my time & skills are limited at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks buddy, I gotta try one. Those buckers look like they could do the Gretsch thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing about those US models--contrary to the imports--is that you can replace the pickups since they are square and not rounded off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
