UTILIZATION

Nice handle, fineness partly offsets the long pitch.

Moderate weight, ergonomics made in Fender therefore caviar, access to acute impeccable.

SOUNDS

Accuracy and precision sound tuning bluffing in Si

Round and deep in clear, rich bass and midrange, despite the maple neck.

Powerful and precise saturation rather modern, no bass drooling sounds, everything is in the righteousness of sound and sharp and shiny. Is perfect light to overkill rock, to blues.

Engl Screamer 50W used on recently on a Mesa Mini correct.

To the metal, you need to change the humbucker which reached its limits because it lacks safe and consistency to deliver very big sound.
I myself have installed a Bare Knuckle Juggernaut to remedy.
With this change, it can only be THE metal sound, powerful, sharp and highly accurate especially for play in tuning beyond the grave and enjoy a dynamic that would rival the best 7 string market.

Guitar designed and built to deliver the best sound low tunings (set Si of origin).

Attention, however, the DNA remains etched in his strat guitar and perspire even in its metal, which always gives a side a little rock and shiny anyway. If you do not like and want a sanitized sound, go your way.

A good equalize allow you to sculpt the sound a bit and overcome its weaknesses. You can alleviate acute and recover from low and mid band for his fighter.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 1 year with a few concerts to his credit.

I played on Schecter Hellraiser 7 string before this choice, I prefer the comfort Sub Sonic side because it is a 6-string, as well as the clarity and intelligibility of sound extreme saturation.

Quality / good price. Attention is now found as longer produced since 2001.

A test, if only out of curiosity
