Already discussed.

The only difference is that my model is 2007 on mine deseptembre the bridge is a locking Tonepros as also to the tailpiece block.

Bone nut
Sperzel

UTILIZATION

The neck is super thin but wide enough (compared to BC Rich and others) (BC is not the rich who'll break your wrist so it is fine).
There is no connection between the handle and body. (Which is not the case on the model LTD).
The "cutaway" is very well penssé.

22 frets access to the last fret finger is in the nose. Thus one can feel the lack of a 2cases or more, but personally I prefer not to have that 22 to keep a large space between the two microphones.

It is very light, that's what I was immediately surprised it is much lighter than my LTD EC 1000 yet it is also full mahogany / rosewood.
Not the same we must believe.

The ergonomics are excellent, I get better to play it up that my EC 1000. Play sitting poses no real problems.

SOUNDS

Yes this scraper is very versatile because of its pickups and violin (mahogany requires).

I play on 8000 2203 Marshall JCM fully Retube: KT88, 12AX7 and one 12AT7 2. With a Marshall 4 * 12 mounted (for now) with only two vintage 30 and the sound is excellent.
I am given a semitone below 10/46 in the original. Blues, rock, shred, riff at the BLS, Megadeth spend quiet ....

I mainly use a modified V847 Wah True Bypass, an EVH phaser, a Zakk Wylde overdrive, a gate and a smart chorus M134.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 1 month.

The characteristic I like most is the fact that there have no visible physical connection between the handle and the body (set-through so).

No little I am that my third guitar and I've never tried before buying.
I know ......

I find very good value for money, I do not see what other brand has as good!

I would do this choice without a doubt.
Besides, I think to buy the new model See Through Black will come out soon.
