«  An excellent high quality guitar »

Published on 09/22/12 at 06:56
Prestige 7-string guitar made in Japan
Edge Zero bridge
Bolt 5 pieces maple / wenge
24 jumbo frets
2 humbuckers, IBZ V77 and V87 IBZ
A volume control, a tone control and a 5-position Selector

UTILIZATION

The handle is just perfect. Very fine and pleasant to the touch, there is no harm in playing it!
The guitar is pretty light, and the shape allows a comfortable game, sitting or standing.
Access to the latest frets is no worries, thanks to the shape of the guitar. A model of ergonomics!

SOUNDS

The pickups are very versatile. The sounds are very pleasant, very slammin crystalline, but lack a little heat. At the level of distortion is a little less good, it lacks definition. Selector 5 positions change slightly the sounds, but not enough for my taste. The pickups are still very good, but I think the change for DiMarzio.

OVERALL OPINION

Received this morning, I've played on a lot, and I'm very happy I did so far encountered no problems, except the tuning much more difficult than on a simple fixed bridge. This is the price to pay to enjoy the vibrato! ;)
The handle and the overall ergonomics of the guitar are the things I like the most. I am less convinced by the microphones, but they are generally good.
I bought for only € 769 in Music Essonne because it was discontinued. The value for money is simply excellent! The case adapted to the guitar is included. It is rigid, fits perfectly inside the forms of guitar, and contains a kind of small chest for storing strings, picks, etc ...
I remake that choice without hesitation!
