UTILIZATION

This is a really high-end guitars: an unusual resonance.
The mahogany body delivers warm sound with nice bass and treble sound clear. On this guitar, all positions either in low, mid, treble, or Humbucker pickups splitted ring.
The handle is very nice, and does not require adaptation. Everything passes in agreements as soli. The short scale provides flexibility in the strings very pleasant.
Access to the treble is perfect, and that until the 24th case, the heel is very well done.
The overall balance of the guitar is preserved, and the weight is fairly well distributed (a solid mahogany body still deserves some effort and remains a model of comfort.

SOUNDS

Importantly, this guitar sounds really sound: it is therefore a sacred promise!
Once connected, the slap! The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates are hot as desired, and blend very well with the mahogany.
In clear, crunch, that is positions fabuleux.Les medium (micro splitted or not) are not far behind. In Split, we approach a real Start sound. Acute position, there is power and crystalline highs well ..

OVERALL OPINION
