The Charter Oak m900t is a vintage-style small-diaphragm tube pencil microphone that has a warm, thick midrange, and very tame and subdued top end. However, as a small diaphragm mic, this Charter Oak microphone is an excellent choice where you want to retain detail in a non-harsh way. Even when put through our clean preamp, the Millennia HV3, there was no real harshness that you'd typically expect from a small diaphragm mic. It possesses a warm vintage tonailty, but doesn't lack on detail, which makes it an interesting and great choice here for electric guitars. It is particularly impressive in the way that it can capture clean tones, and loads of reverb detail, but at the same time, doesn't suffer when the amp gets dialed up to some more aggressive distorted electric guitar tones. It's a real workhorse, as it performs wonderfully well on lots of applications from finger-style acoustic guitar, to drum overheads, grand piano, and even here on electric guitars. If you'd like to discuss the microphone, please don't hesitate to give one of our recording experts here a call anytime, toll free at 888.528.9703, or international, +1 919.682.5552.
What we think:
Spot on 2-tone burst with plenty of vintage vibe! The astonishing heavy relic aging and Lollar pickups bring you back in time!
When we first picked up Bill Nash's guitars, we utterly amazed at the quality of his workmanship. Not only is his relic-ing top notch, but all of the instruments have a resonance that is hard to find these days from an instrument pulled off the wall at GC. We think this is due to a very thin coat of nitrocellulose lacquer, a properly seated neck pocket, and the appropriate density of the woods used. Combine this with Jason Lollar's pickups and you really have a match made in heaven. The pickups have that incredible bell-like tone with just the right amount of output. Finally a guitar that sounds and plays like the originals did in the late 50's. We've had people come in to compare their vintage Strats and Fender CS's to a Nash walk out with a Nash guitar because it was simply a better guitar. You can't argue with the price either. Most relics on the market are nearly double the price of a Nash. A Bill Nash guitar is a real player's instrument. His philosophy is that they should be used, abused, and then used some more.
