25th Anniversary FAQ
25th Anniversary Complete Story

 
I will venture the opinion that the TCM Gemini, in this particular form, has a lot of that airiness on top and richness down below that I associate with a truly good late 50’s LP Standard, with a notable bit of the throatiness and punch of a really great 335 (but with an even response over the entire fretboard).  This is necessarily only a rough description, using examples that we are familiar with.I am quite sure that the terms “bright”, “harsh” and “muddy” do not apply to this, or any TCM built to date.
