Hello, i own an Adamas 1687 Reissue. When i plug it in, i find the electric sound a little bit brittle(bright maybe)side. Is it has to do with the preamp or the pickup?. How can i get a warmer sound? Do i have to upgrade electronics?

plug it into what?

dial back the treble knob

cut the treble on your amp or PA

crank up the bass on the amp or PA.

use something with a full range or 15 inch speaker

if it is a cheap solid state system you may need to get something more.

if all else fails get an eq pedal

Listen to Al. I've got the reissue 2 knobber electronics in 2 guitars, my 1537 and my OFC slothead (ding!). Both work very well. With the tone knob dialed just over into the bass side, I get a very balanced, full, and pleasing sound. Check your amp and amp settings and listen to Al. He knows this stuff. If Templeman weighs in on this, listen to him to....

Easy there big guy.

The amp is probably 90% of your problem. I've been using a Roland KC550 keyboard amp that sounds wonderful. Just glad it has casters on it.

Could it possibly be that the strings are extra lights? This sometimes will result in an over- trebly tone to my ears.
