Control Circuit: Have you ever noticed by playing the Tokai TE series? It should be completely different from the copy model of. Smooth response of volume, crisp without muffled even if the sound is reduced. The range and depth of expression, such as the sound, is truly diverse. The key, that is, when the secret is disclosed, is as follows. First of all, the curve characteristics of the volume, all TE series are A curve, that is also IM. Just a copy. When it comes to guitars, you can change the B-curve from 250KS to 500KS as originally done, but the human ear I dared to adopt the A curve because of the characteristics of the above, that is, the problem of hearing. In other words, the A curve is better than the B curve. It sounds like the function of the volume changes more linearly and smoothly, and it is a guitar that makes full use of the violin playing method. I used IMQ for the strike. 1000PF so that the sound will not be muffled even if the volume is lowered further The capacitor effect is produced by the capacitor. A normal tone condenser is 0.047MF. The TE series policy is where the range of expression is further expanded while making the best use of the nuances of the original.
The original bridge and tailpiece bridge is 3 way, but the TE series is Tokai's original 6-way. This is already I want you to catch it purely as a musical problem. TE that can adjust the string height and pitch of 6 strings individually It goes without saying that the series can adjust the pitch more accurately than the 3-way type. Also, the string height of each string Since it can be adjusted freely, you can get the tension that suits your style. Functional aspect as a musical instrument Don't you think it's excellent even if you catch it from? TE50 / 55/70 is a steel bridge type OTE80-85 The brass type, the string height adjustment screw, and the pitch adjustment screw are heavy duty black das. It's Yip. The tailpiece is an L-shaped Tokai original and firmly supports these 6 bridges.
