Best value:
Excellent
This guitar is made by a Canadian Luthier (to Montreal to be precise).
The company has been 7 years now and has nothing to envy the large clutches such as ESP guitars!
Characteristics of the beast:
Construction: Neck Through
Body Wood: Quilted Maple Top Alder Body
Neck: 3 Piece Maple with Center Quatersawn
Fretboard: Ebony
Tuners: Gotoh Tuners
Scale: 27 "
Frets: Jumbo
Factory Strings: D'Addario 10-74
Bridge: Hipshot
Neck Pickup: Active EMG-808X
Bridge Pickup: EMG Active-808X
Controls: 1 volume, 1 tone and 1 three-way toggle switch
Hardware Color: Black.
One might think that the configuration is "basic", but it is formidable as a blade grinding made to perfection.
The finish is superb and honestly, color throws! (I had to do a photo shoot with my guitar and you can not see it!).
For once, I found a clever luthier! housing the 9V battery will not unscrew on this model! it dislodges! and the mechanism and solid to boot!
Regarding the EMG808X .... I had never tried and unable to test the guitar I thought to take a risk ..... Well no! they too are frightening! the bass is accurate and powerful, for acute ....... I rarely had this feeling! the highs are simply precise, incisive and stand perfectly.
I do not regret one thing, the absence of mechanical self-locking.
Nevertheless, we must not lose sight that this maker only custom designs! (You can find the famous mechanical self-locking on these custom designs). Guitars that you can buy on the site are "basic" models of the brand and serve as "showcase". it is not in ESP and company! we are talking about Canadian craft! and that shipments of wood if I can afford.
UTILIZATION
The handle is just perfect!
very accessible to (my favorite) "flat" type.
like some 8 strings, notes cuffs are available on this model.
As I explained above, the guitar is precise and incisive, not to make mistakes when you go down!
Any error (even on top of handle) is observed directly.
This guitar offers great performance but does not forgive the error!
Reserved for experienced guitarists.
SOUNDS
Personally, I play Metal Deathcore / Hardcore.
This guitar is perfect for me!
The sound is well balanced, powerful, accurate bass, treble incisors, very accurate and current.
I do not advertise the brand and honestly I still can not, after 7 months of living together, to find him the slightest defect ....
It is suitable for both soloists as rhythmic, it's almost frustrating!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it now for seven months and as explained above I still find no fault him!
The next time I will buy a custom.
The price / quality ratio is excellent! I had the opportunity to try a lot of 8-string (it is now 5-6yrs I play on 8 strings) and frankly, it's downgrades all! even for models 2000 € I had the opportunity to try.
250 Canadian dollars you can have your livery in its Flightcase Guerilla Guitars military finish guitar (which I am not private!).
Note that I do a lot of things about this brand, because it suits me perfectly, it will not perhaps the case with everyone. They are guitars that must be tamed.
Last advice, do not play with the French Customs .... I tried and I got caught € 300 more on delivery.
1600 include € 1,499 Canadian dollars + the flightcase Guerilla Guitars + shipping which gives us more or less € 1,700
