What Do We Think This Shelton TimeFlite features a semi-hollow, bound Redwood body and a master grade roasted flame maple neck. Second to none in the wood department and covered in a super smooth satin finish. Add in a Mastery vibrato and set of Lambertones Grinder humbuckers hidden under jazzmaster-style covers, and this guitar is about as optioned out as you can get. When playing through the bridge pickup you will notice a rich midrange with a chewy lower register and plenty of air on top. The roasted maple neck throughout all the pickup settings adds a more focused element to the sound, and on the bridge makes for a very articulate and precise setting that’s great for big chords and lead lines alike. The neck position is sweet and warm. Even the simplest of bluesy leads will sound inspired and musical. Each note has plenty of character, and when climbing up the fretboard you never lose that. The low end is big but not overwhelming, and the upper register cuts very nicely. The 5-way switch on this guitar allows for some really cool sounds combining both pickups. Position 2 gives you the two humbuckers together in standard parallel configuration. Position 4 delivers a really nice coil split on both pickups, not sounding toon thing but carving out a few frequencies that make for a great clean rhythm tone. Position 5 takes the outer coil of each pickup and puts them together in series to creat one ultra-fat humbucker. How Does It Play The string action on this monster sets up nice and low without buzz. It hovers at a very comfortable 4/64” at the 12th fret. The C neck leans on the thinner side of medium, fast without feeling too modern. The Mastery Vibrato is smooth and returns to “zero” just right, ensuring the guitar stays in tune throughout frequent use of the vibrato.
