versus158 « A real treat! »
Published on 06/24/14 at 01:27After the success of my 6 strings I again appealed to Patrick for 7-string this time.
So we are dealing with 100% handmade in Switzerland:
Body and sapele mahogany
pau ferro key / maple table
handle 24 cases screwed pitch 26.2
Kent Armstrong pickups custom
1 volume / 1 3-position switch
Hipshot hardware (Mecas locking + hardtail)
UTILIZATION
We enter the heart of the matter! Right out of the box and the first grip we feel that this is not a guitar factory outlet.
It exudes serious and solid, everything is perfectly adjusted, tailored sleeve is a real treat. This is my first 7 string and I feel immediately comfortable on, not any better.
The finish is very pleasant to the touch it is far from the somewhat "sticky" some varnish (thank you the tru oil) even with the heat the back of the neck does not cling.
No default and exemplary comfort, we will be able to pass her!
SOUNDS
I asked Patrick to me this guitar for playing modern hardcore (think northlane / ghost inside / to kill achilles ...) So first course test on the overdrive channel of my Powerball II.
Any jurisdiction to perfection, the nuances of the game are present (and also crashes for once: D), A Drop granted it does not bleed sound is right and well defined. The bridge pickup really can break into the mix with a beautiful aggressiveness, the neck pickup gives it softness for arpeggios and solos.
Proceed to clean and crunch, despite the enormous level of the output is beautiful and clean does not buckle. As a crystalline stratum, beautiful treble bridge and neck in a nice sweetness, crunch same.
Result we can really do anything with this guitar, it responds well to all the nuances of the game and can collect all of the softer or sharper.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a few months that I have in my hand, it's always a pleasure to play on, I would do without hesitation that choice, it is an instrument that is stored and which you can not get bored!
