- In which country was it made? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)

Korean guitar (and that's the difference with the model seulles ESP, the country of design and the wood (wood is American so-called best ... I remain skeptical))

- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?

24 frets, Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine signature live wire, microwave active and very end, provide plenty of power, style EMG, but with a lower gain, in the least heard "nag", while being very typical metal

-What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?

here no floyd, easel "standard" strings fall directly into the body, a treat when to change strings, and also a feast for the eyes ^ ^

- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?

3 black metal knob, a volume acute, severe volume and tone, micro selector 3 positions, all this is very efifcace, the knob is an excellent grip, it does not slide over

- What type of race?

um I know myself too much on this point, say it is fine, not as an ibanez, and not round like a log gibson, very nice, a compromise between rhythm and solo.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?

not a little, one of the best race I've seen, neither too thin nor too thick, varnished it right so you can play for hours and hours without fatigue

- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?

V shape helps, yes, it's hard to beat, we can lay the finger on the 24 wouthit worry, there is no body to interfere

- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

it is very slight, against the form, for it is great, I thought it would not fly in the box, it is also very balanced, most tend to fall on V at the head, here it is not the case

- Gets it easy to sound good? ...

it's impossible not to have a good sound, is under no funding ^ ^

it yields the simple sound of mustaine, very fine, precise, and bold. we do what we want

the clean is very nice, to my surprise I admit it is a good definition, clear sound, almost crystalline

are the distos énormissimes the grave may be a bit too serious, but it is in any way we play megadeth rather than the acute all the time ^ ^

seymour duncan livewire, ssur ca ^ ^

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?

hard to beat for the metal and thrash

- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?

with a 100 watt Hughes and Kettner Matrix 100

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

already mentioned, a very good sound

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

I love them all except the micro serious distortion, it saturates a little but it has to come from my amp (transistor requires)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
1 month is my Christmas present in advance ^ ^
- What is so special that you like most and least?

I love everything about this guitar, I sometimes feel that it is tailor-made lol
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Obviously, it is 1200 euros careful what you buy ^ ^

- How would you rate the quality / price?

1200 is an amount I admit, but we do not regret it

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

time will tell ^ ^
