Freeway pro 7 review7/25/2023 When you pick one up you'll immediately feel that this is a substantial instrument, tight and cleanly made. There are several colors (maple flame, metal flake burgundy, black. The neck is maple (mine has a rosewood fretboard). The Freeway is a double cutaway, solid body with two humbuckers, one single coil, a five way switch and tremolo. BTW- the Freeway has two humbuckers and a single coil and came with the best gig bag I've ever seen.Īfter 6 months of regular playing, I haven't run into a feature that I don't like yet. So now I have a finely made, great fitting, instrument that can deliver almost any type of music. The Freeway can move from twangy Tele all the way to full mellow tones even with 9s. The real pleasure started when I plugged it in. I told the salesman that I'd buy if for myself. When I started picking around on it (unplugged), I could hear the sustain and the clarity of the notes. I was surprised to see a fine Canda/US made guitar at half the price of a US made Fender Strat. Then I saw on the head "Part made in Canada. The maple neck felt well finished and slender like a strat. The finish was very fine (metal flake Burgundy). I picked up the Freeway and noticed how solid and tightly made it felt. I was looking for an inexpensive but quality guitar for my kid. I bought the Freeway Classic through a local distributor for $380. The report quality price seems excellent. The seller has put me in the hands Godin and I fell in love immediately. Store I tested mostly Ibanez in the same price range. Be careful though with tie strap: strap on mine was taken in closing the cover and ripped the screws! Replaced by security locks illico with a screw a little thicker, more problems since. I love the micro grave for a more bold, the bridge pickup for slamming. A little too much midrange for my taste, I often turns on the equalizer, and I put together a little middle strings to be more remote microphones. She has pretty sharp, while having a good presence in the bass. I granted C drop in recent months, with a strong enough pull, followed by a luthier. I play progressive rock, post-rock, post hardcore. One day perhaps, but not see the need for the moment. I thought of changing the pickups on occasion but, in fact, the original pickups fully satisfy me for now. It sounds everywhere, on all amps, even at Roland cubes. A volume control and a tone control (rather inefficient though). This is a Canadian built with a floyd and a maple neck. Used purchased in Paris in 2008, this is my one and only guitar that sounds myself everywhere and in all circumstances.
