information on a site where I bought it
Rosewood Fretboard,
25.5 "Scale
24 Frets
1 EMG 81 bridge, 1 EMG 85 neck
Floyd Rose Lic. Tremolo
Color Two Tone Silver Black

I was not surprised when I received it, this is what I expected!

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it nice?
I find the handle a little big, it's kind in the Gibson Les Paul, but since I'm not a giant (1m70), it is sometimes not obvious!

- Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
I find that although the form is not super obvious power went for the notes to the 24th box, it needs some training, and concentration (stop moving your head, avoid too much beer before the concert)!

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
She takes good hand, it is a robust instrument, fun to play as long as you do not need to do something really technical for me (size of the handle), but she takes it, the V-shape is very nice (I'm a fan of V) as a point comes between the legs, and it lets you play as if we were sitting ...

- Do you get easily a good sound ...?
The EMGs are not there for decoration, sending it!
But like all the guitars that have EMG active, I'm not sure the violin is respected!

SOUNDS

- Are they suitable for your style of music?
I play mainly Metal ( http://www.myspace.com/sonnyredmetal ) so it is clear that the shape puts me directly in condition when I take ..
I like this side of "clear", there is no doubt at a concert when you ride with you does not leave room for interpretations is what kind of style they play?

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I am a Geek stuff of guitar so I play on different heads, and each time the sound is there (EMG), I tried with a line6 Vetta II HD, the Peavey Classic 50/50, through a peavey 5150 ... also tried with pedals Maxon Rod881 is (unfortunately) still the same type of sound, sending it!

tried with different baffles also ENGL 212 with V30, HP Jensen, Hp Sheffield ...

It's a guitar lumberjack, I would have liked a little more nuance, but I think it is the EMG was challenging, not the guitar itself!

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
EMG 81 in the rhythm very well, after the leads with 85 are very nice, warmer in my opinion, but it's very very stereotyped as sound, that everyone has!

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it?
Purchased in June 2007, in Germany, I needed a strong instrument to play anywhere without me take the lead, but I find fault with him now, and is its largest Flight Case is HUGE ... Very annoying when you go play at the other end of France ...

- What thing do you like most/least about it?
I love her mouth, she farts, but I think it needs to be "arranged", as it fairly common (if you look at the shape it does), it stands out as shape!

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I have over 10 guitars, each with its soul, but I find that there, the personality in its form, after his side, I find it banal, like everyone else ...
It is a provocative girl in form, which speaks loudly ...

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Paid around 1000 Euros in Germany, I always find it expensive, but it gave me a good time live ... and also horrible moment when, after having moved the vibrato, it loses the tuning ...

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I do not regret my purchase but I regret the "large" stick
