Since the time Xochitl taunting me with his opinion on the Horizon, I go too. Moreover, it has the same as me
For specs, b'en zap if you read the previous opinions.
<ul> Superstrate made in Japan, config H / H and tune o matic.
For colors, although only see thru black cherry is the French distributor's catalog, it seems that all colors are finally available for France, with a beautiful waiting time qu'Algam (importer) is moving rind for ordering. I ate a quarter of waiting to receive mine in black See Through. This is also a black translucent darkest I've seen. But it snaps
Quartersawn maple neck-through 3 games with wings reported in mahogany, ebony polished, curved maple table. There, big doubt is the table is solid curly maple, or, and this is most likely not figured maple veneer (veneer) in curly maple.
Channel 24 boxes tune 25''1 / 2. Jumbo frets. Bone nut.
Spiral reinforcement at the head / neck.
Nut width 1 11/16''(42mm).
INLAYS rectangular eccentric mother-centered rectangular frame and struck with the ESP logo on 12th fret.
White threads in all directions: net table edge, edge key and leading edge.
Sperzel locking MECAS Trimlok, Tune o Matic Gotoh / stringthru, one volume, one tone push / push splitter to the windings of the two humbuckers, a small 3-position toggle. All hardware is black, even the toggle! Spa on as Jackson. Little extra that adds a nice consistency to the whole. </ul>
Standard around the world, two Seymour Duncan humbuckers splittable SH4B and SH1N.
Cultural exception for France, however, as pointed out by Xochitl: Algam are importer and EMG ESP for France, they seem to offer an easy configuration EMG-cost option. I could enjoy!
Thus, serial, my split Horizon lost, but won a config 'properly wired EMG 81/60. Pile hair now my favorite.
Note that in most, though I have bought in the shop of my hometown, I hit the same price as mail order via Germany, with the config in EMG and a real setting of the tech mag ' and more. Also important to note that before rushing to the Teutonic VPC, which I use very often, however, a small turn in the store just to see what they offer is always advisable.
A few minor complaints, in bulk.
For less expensive, Ltd. are equipped as standard with a TOM TonesPro (made by Gotoh). Why do ESP, are they not equipped? It's actually quite convenient not to wallow string height during transport in a gig bag, or when removing all the strings at once (something I avoid doing, but it can happen).
The button is made of a beautiful ebony, deep black, the homogeneous structure and smooth enough, the grain is tight enough. Why this silly idea to polish the? You end up with a brilliant touch hyper, almost like playing on the glass .... It is much less than girandole unpolished, it's pretty flashy. More ridiculous, the first notes played, among the key polished the frets and the new ropes slipped each, I managed to make wonderful "skkkrïïAaAAïïk" worthy of my first (and last) of bowing a violin.
Since, fortunately, that's very quiet. M'enfin, not cool.
UTILIZATION
The ergonomics are good: cut stomach is going well, but not cut to the forearm (normal for a guitar curved table).
Access to acute is impeccable, with neck-through construction, there is no butts up to the 24th box.
The Sperzel do their job, such as bone nut, no detuning in sight, unless you are extremely straight forward and play on the strings vintage 1974.
The grip is immediate. Everything falls well under the hand I was afraid a little volume knob, very close to the micro bridge. Having a game right hand is not stingy with great movements and compulsive disordered (yep, still work to do on the economy of movement, even if I'm a shredder), I was nervous that the damn knob or hair cell in the axis right hand. A bit like the Jackson.
Cunning, the guys from ESP to the Horizon: the table is smashed under the knobs, they are lower than usual and pass just below the hand, not in its wake. Too bad the other hand, although they missed it on the M1 NT ...
The handle. I know enough layers of dancer to compare (Xochitl>> <img border="0" /> ).
The neck is thicker, there's more material than the Wizard Banez, the Jackson Bolt (DK1, KE3, DXMG, etc.)..
It is a bit thinner than on Jackson Soloists (yep, I still could not help the poor test SL2H put on a display for many years in my mag 5 'usual, with strings and original poor ("/ (" /). Also thinner than the Schecter C1 and Washburn Idol. A handle type slippers, one is immediately. Very taste of others actually. Impecca '.
However, and there b'en me, I really do not arrive, the handle is covered with a shiny patent thick enough. And unfortunately, I sweat still many mimine. I admit it: Lonewolf was right
A very nice palmar sweating. Not a terrible hyperidrosis, but with the summer heat, better not to shake my hand too long, otherwise we will remain stuck
Same was not afraid, I corrected it all
A little tour with my favorite luthier, Mister White ( http://www.patrice-blanc.com ) , and my mantenance Horizon is equipped with a handle with a satin black painted translucent Zouli the most beautiful effect, and that allows me not to stay stuck on the handle as chewing gum on the sole of my Nike's death that kills.
Yep, very neat ergonomic handle, quick and easy, there's no wiggle in the louloute is nice.
SOUNDS
Well, b'en there, necessarily, I can only speak of the EMG config (and so much the better, I have a big allergy SH4 which, though still predisposed to send large, and largely too beuglard dirty to me).
Well, as much to say right now, I have this ESP 3 months, but it was left plugged into an amp worthy of the name for a week ...
Before that, it was the GST Vamp2/Art a sound card.
Since then, she made pleasant vocals in my bo chicken n'ampli luxury Engl E570 - VHT 2/50/2 - VHT Fat Bottom 2x12.
In clean, inevitably, the EMG 81 is not for product sounds Burstbucker / APH1. This mic sounds clear, however, preserves honest. An answer a bit hollow in the meds, a friendly and gain control. Not the warmest, but that's normal, he types in the registry ceramic micro "Gently high gain", comparable to SD SH6, Gibson 500T and other DM DP100 (I'm tired of repeating it ).
The EMG 60? Same. If you are looking for super warm drooling, type in or Burstbucker APH1. Or EMG 85. And a handle 22 boxes, because the sound of the neck microphone on a handle box 24 differs somewhat from the very position of the microphone. The 60 grain, however, a really nice, clean attack a small and rather characteristic, it is round, and it is a good compromise in my ears, between fullness and precision. It always makes me think DM Norton I on another skyscraper. And away enough of SH1, more fat and dirty.
In saturax, one can imagine. The 81 is very accurate, live coverage of your game (Thurs so filthy, the filthy, clean game, his own). Harmonics come naturally. This is a micro micro bridge I prefer. Gain without going into excessive Invader/X2N, grain (we like it or not), accuracy and ceramic building that gives this cold micro reputation, reputation who then stupidly generalized to the entire range EMG. A comparison with DiMarzio Evolution and DropSonic for the "cold"
.
The 60, meanwhile, is still pleasant in full. Gain more than enough to hold leads, clean and clear yet. Still the attack feature that I can not describe. Really sing. Far from the sound of an EMG 85 or SD SH1.
In the end, louloute ESP is really nice. Not a backhoe in the low (not a Gibson, it's a shame), but rather a sharp edge and character.
Not a vindictive nature ultra hardened steel, it is relatively flexible, keeping in mind that although certainly not excel in musical styles far from the scope of action that impose their microphones and not typed enough and split. Not really a scratch to easy listening or sweet fantasies, you know.
But there's no two ways about it is doing its job, and I spend my time with it really. And with his Les Paul keupine
[added 24/03/2008]
Small update microphones, I turned the couple EMG-60 bridge 81 neck to the bridge in 85 and 60A in the neck. And 18v passage in stride. ( https://micro-guitare.emg.audiofanzine.com/apprendre/faq_tips/index%2Cidproduit%2C10529%2Cmao%2C81.html )
The louloute gained a damn character!
I am a big chipoteur is basically a good guitar that should satisfy a lot of people. But she was pale in comparison to my Les Paul Classic ( https://guitare-les-paul.gibson.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index%2Cidproduit%2C53846.html ) ...
In short, the smooth side and a dull coat is gone, it has more banter, a bit more heat, less than a centipoil surgical precision (but still widely tolerated), and a better feel on the strings (more than dynamic it seems). And more bass in the bridge. The graft was well taken!
The note of 7 / 10 to 8 / 10 with this modification.
OVERALL OPINION
A very good guitar in the end. Pretty simple and elegant (by my standards for me), not a character of thugs and low forehead, excellent ergonomics. Yep, a good buy.
Same as for Xochitl Feet flightcase that are not present on the bottom, the floor-without scratching the flight. It's a shame. <p class="bbcode-cite"> % $ 1 <span>I just wish</span> the writing <span>of metal feet on the side and bottom: on the edge, they are plastoc and substance there is not!</span> .
I have a little hesitant with Jackson SL2HT, but between the fear of falling on a model problem in the U.S. direct purchase, the price still outrageously high in Europe, I preferred the ESP. It's not really the same thing, my heart still beats for pitit Jackson, but there's moments, do not push it. For a price easily 30% higher, Jackson offered only SH4/SH1 Duncan (in my mouth so the passage in EMG), the basic MECAS where ESP offers Sperzel Trimlok, and no nice table convex. And always the risk of hitting a bridge not aligned
But I have not said my last word for Jackson
[added 24/06/2006]
It is a very good scratch, but it is clear, compared to Gibson or Jackson USA I had in hand, both in mag 'than me, she has a truly less typical. But it's not the same price!
[added 24/03/2008]
The change I made (81 / 60 in 9 volts to 18 volts 85/60A) was particularly beneficial for this guitar.
85 in the bridge is really a good solution if the 81 is not satisfactory. A pleasant surprise!
Yep, it finally has a character of a small moth, the ESP!
