Precix - Translucent Green £1149
This comes with a Poplar body in a nice Translucent green finish which lets the grain of the timber show through nicely. Electrics are Seymour Duncan Phat Cats through a single volume and tone and a three way switch. A lighter guitar than the red one above and coupled with the Phat Cats what we get is brighter tone that is great for bluesy solos as there is plenty of bite. The tone could probably be described as 'bell like' with a smooth, bright top end but enough mid range punch to stop things sounding weak - this guitar really cuts through. As always this is a comfortable easy playing instrument with the wide flat rosewood fingerboard and C shaped neck in the usual Campbell style.
Precix - Translucent Red Slab body - Special Price £999 *****SOLD******
A rare slab bodied guitar from Dean this one - mahogany bound body with a Phat Cat P90 at the neck and a JB humbucker at the bridge (both Seymour Duncan. As ever the rosewood fingerboard and Campbell neck profile make this a comfortable and easy guitar to play. Hardware is simple as are the electronics - single volume and tone and 3 way switch. This guitar definitely has a voice of its own - a very rich but crisp clean tone from the neck pickup which turns into an extremely useful rock rhythm sound with a bit of gain - powerful but well defined and a powerful, clear tone from the bridge which is taut and articulate with gain.
Precix Translucent Red Special Price £999
A mahogany bodied Precix with a rare (for Campbell) Hipshot Trem. The trem here has a very light feel and does need a gentle touch although it is still capable of some serious whammyage! The Two P90s give this guitar a rich but clear tone - surprisingly versatile and definitely equally capable either clean or distorted. As with the guitar above the front P90 works remarkably well with a bit of gain, probably because there is no hint of muddiness. The rear pickup has all the hallmarks of a single coil - crispness and bite but with a good chunk of extra depth probably helped by the mahogany body. The neck is standard Campbell C shaped with a flat rosewood fingerboard. A great versatile guitar - everyone should have one.
***********SOLD***********Precix - Arctic Blue £979****************SOLD*********
Another winner from Dean Campbell, this time in solid Arctic Blue with Nickel covered Seymour Duncan humbuckers. This has the standard combination of a JB at the bridge and a Jazz at the neck which can be coil tapped from the tone control giving access to a wide variety of tones from thick sustaining rock to funky rhythms and snappy clean leads. Quite a bright sounding guitar this one, although not necessarily what you would expect from a Poplar body such as this. It bears repeating here just how playable these guitars are; the neck just feels comfortable and string bending on the ebony fingerboard feels nice and easy. A nitrocellulose finished hand made guitar for under £1000 - you need to give this a try.
***SOLD***Precix - Translucent Cherry Red £899 ***Special Price*** SOLD***
This is an ex-demo model, hence reduced price, it is however as good as new. It comes with a Sapele body finished in the rather nice Translucent Cherry Red finish. Electrics are Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates through the usual volume, tone, 3-way switch and coil tap. This guitar has, as you would expect a dense body, making it fairly heavy, although being fairly small, not too heavy. This density definitely affects the tone here giving us a rich, full tone with significant midrange but enough top end clarity to keep definition. While the coil tap adds some wiry treble to the proceedings there is still the midrange emphasis in the tones. This is a great versatile guitar and one well suited to a rock player who needs good distorted tones but with the added versatility of the thinner, coil tapped sounds. The wide flat rosewood fingerboard and C profile neck make this an easy playing guitar that just feels comfortable.
