在与哥特金属乐队无意中赢得欧洲电视网歌曲比赛的仅13年之后，芬兰现在是否有高级吉他制造商可以参加世界？我们认为这可能是我们的几天，我们认为这可能是。
Saku Vuori’s designs are inspired by old Finnish houses and furniture and often make use of one of the country’s biggest natural resources: pine trees.比利·吉本斯是Vuorensaku的粉丝，这些高价的乐器现在可以通过Coda Music在英国获得。
因此，这是T家族的“ Birke”模型。Vuori是挡泥板偏移的爱好者，身体形状肯定是爵士乐大师的元素，更不用说精通的桥梁和颤音的尾巴了。但这与电信风格的控制板结合在一起，最独特的是在身体前边缘围绕着优雅的德国雕刻。
深绿色的“顶部”由灰白色的结合定义，看起来像是一块独立的木材，但从谷物中可以清楚地看出，伯克的身体只是中间的两块松树。
然后我们来到皮卡。这位琴弦缠绕自己的，在这里，我们在桥接位置上挂了一个humbucker，安装在围绕桥梁柱子和脖子上的P-90的金属板上。单位数DC读数暗示它们是损伤老式风格的，而不是热。
如果您认为事情正朝着卡拉马祖的方向发展，脖子会走得更远：这是一个舒适的圆形块，配置文件称为“ 59 lp”。但这是枫木，有Fender-style 25.5-inch scale length. Clearly, Vuori is one of those boutique builders who’s happy to cherry-pick features from across the spectrum of classic designs – and who can blame him for that?
The fretboard is pau ferro, a common rosewood alternative, and has been sanded to a compound radius – though the gradation is so slight, from 9.5 to 10 inches, that you might not even feel it. At the far end, you’ll find a neatly cut bone nut, and here’s another splash of local colour: it’s not just any old bone salvaged from a butcher’s bin, but Finnish elk.
硬件是铝，镍和不锈钢的组合，所有这些都可以与身体的品味遗物工作一样受损。不同的金属在阴影和质地上的匹配度不佳，但是没有人会注意到，当您在舞台灯下进行风车时。最重要的是，整个事情都感觉超级固定 - 我们对那些古老的芬兰房屋了解不多，但是如果这把吉他是一栋建筑物，我们会相信它可以防止寒冷的北风。
One more feature to note is the headstock, which has a sort of straightened-out Telecaster shape and a metal plate screwed to the front. This is one of four places where you’ll find the guitar’s serial number – it’s also on the back of the headstock, the bridge pickup surround and the neck plate. After half an hour, you should know it off by heart.

Pine as a tonewood? It’s not so unusual:丹尼斯·范诺（Dennis Fano）曾用它作为新吉他，有人说Pine在Esquire的开发过程中仅对Leo Fender失去了青睐，因为它太容易凹陷了。对于Birke来说，这并不是一个问题，Birke的边缘已经很好并且已经“穿着”了。结合相对较厚的枫木脖子，这种芬兰的松树可以使相当沉重的偏移量自然地在皮带上平衡。
If all pine sounds as good as this, maybe we should stop worrying about a few dents. The guitar’s acoustic tone is fresh and resonant, with lots of warm sustain and a forthright midrange. It’s immediately likeable, and makes us want to hear it amplified as soon as possible.
一个干净的放大器可以清楚地表明，这两个拾音器都有高保真的排骨，可以保留吉他的天生色调。所有位置的声音都很顺畅 - 也许这些幼犬并不像阻力人物所暗示的那样 - 但仍然有一些活泼的角色可以闪耀的空间。
Not that much perky character, though. You do get some of that specialJazzmastersweetness in the midrange but, perhaps because of the efficient solidity of that non-rocking bridge, there’s none of the percussive plunk of a traditional offset. Whether you think that’s good news or bad is, as ever, a matter of personal taste.
The neck pickup does the jazzy thing with style, though it has little of the ‘snap’ you might be expecting based onP-90sinGibson固体体。Likewise, the ’bucker at the bridge doesn’t sound much like a PAF, at least not in this setting: slam on the overdrive and it’ll gladly get stuck in, but the Fender elements of the guitar’s design give it a more breezy, less mids-focused tone than you’ll get from a Les Paul or SG.
通过烹饪花呢放大器播放铅线，对所有三个拾音器设置的音符攻击都有光荣的精确度。P-90一直以脖子上的重压良好，并且亨巴克保持同样的纪律处分，永远不会变得稀薄或尖刺。开放的和弦听起来很丰富却整齐，但是您可能不会玩很多 - 因为那条圆形的脖子带有简单的缎面饰面，这使得无法抗拒的独奏机。
因此，我们在这里拥有的是挡泥板和吉布森（Gibson）的复杂酿造，它具有两者的一些最佳特征，从而产生了大胆而坚强的语气。如果您对伟大的Solidbody原型的魔力充满热情，请警告Birke不会以最纯粹的形式给您那些经典的声音。但是，如果您正在寻找最终的全能选手来登上您的六弦系列，那么这可能是一个强大而独特的竞争者。
