My Carparelli Arco F1 – by Amy J Bannister
John Davis of Carparelli UK asked me to explain what I liked about my new guitar, the Carparelli Arco F1, please see my thoughts below.
Because my Arco is so nice it’s very hard to choose just one thing that I like about it, but probably the best thing is how low you can get the action. In fact the action is the lowest I’ve ever seen on a guitar yet there is not a single bit of fret buzz.
Another thing is that the neck is so smooth and slim enabling you to just glide along it. Also with a lot of guitars you have to change them a lot to make them just right for you but with this guitar all I changed was the action to how I like it and voila, it’s as if it has been made especially for me.
One word to describe my Arco F1 - “ME” - It’s perfect for me and as soon as I got it... I knew it was mine as it felt like an old friend that I love. It just felt right straight away and I knew it would be the main guitar that I will play for many years to come.
Five of my favourite feature on the guitar are:
The locking machine heads - This makes it really quick and easy to change strings and tune them in.
The boost switch - this is especially useful when switching from playing rhythm chords in a song to increase the volume for playing the lead.
Pickup combination - I love the combination of humbucker, single coil and humbucker on my Arco F1 as the five way selector switch gives me a fantastic range of sounds and nice general feel to the guitar.
Body shape - Firstly it is very different and stylish but secondly it fits me perfectly which is of course very important and finally it is so beautiful to look at.
Acoustics - Even playing this guitar not plugged into an amp it sounds great, loud and bold yet gentle and clear, awesome in fact.
