All mahogany guitar (arguably the reference of wood for the big sound) String through body.
Glue stick with a junction shaped body "neck-through" super pleasant. jumbo frets and rosewood fingerboard.
Binding way "Les Paul Custom" multiplies very nice on the head and body.
Electronic rating: Seymour JB in bridge and 59 in the sleeve.
5-way switch (after me: JB JB splits and the two doubles, splits 59: 59 only) which offers a range of interesting sound thanks to the split of microphones. It really gets five different sounds.
There is also a volume and tone (a bit hard for my taste)

For mahogany, and I put Seymours 9

UTILIZATION

The handle is surprising, I expected to have difficulty to play on the seventh string (ahhh!! ... Those little hands) but in fact it is not difficult at all. The profile is slightly rounded, very comfortable (my taste has more than RG 7-string). You get used easily to seven strings.
The key landmarks are relatively dark, the blow is not always easy to identify.
Big negative about the use, cuttaway inferior size is absolutely ridiculous. It turns out the very annoying that it exceeds the 19 spaces because it prevents the hand down to play on the high strings. For solos prefer the Hellraiser.
Otherwise the weight and relatively large, which suggests a good sustain. For me it is a strength. Maybe after some can interfere with ca ...

For ergonomic I put 7 (9 otherwise)

SOUNDS

I use it to play metal like nevermore, but for blues songs or instrumental (eg Andy Timmons)
Cote sounds, it's the surprise ...
For the metal, the sound lacks a bit of heaviness, the EMG seem more suited to after me. The sound sounds more rock than heavy metal scandinave.Pour those who know I is in the register of the solo of "I, Voyager" Nevermore, much more than their rhythm parts (smelling of EMG).
The good surprise comes from its versatility (after me it is not for metal fans who will move into a hit on EMG). It can do everything from clean to rock. Special mention for the blues or just found the characteristics of its Gibson (thanks to the type of construction) with a well rounded and mellow.

Having to buy the metal I put 7. For another use I put 9

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months.
Contrary to appearances this guitar is for those seeking a more plyvalence than the pure metal and hard SCREWED who want it all ......
Buy 600 to 700 Euros (I remember ...) I find, however, excellent value for money. The guitar sounds great, is very versatile in the records other than metal, and is fun to play (with the exception of access to high).

In short, you understand, the big disappointment of sounds (why there were more than Hellraiser ), And access to acute. but pleasant surprise of the versatility and quality construction. A remake, I do pay attention to the ergonomic advantage and privilege for me that the EMG is the reference for the 7-string pickups (not necessarily for 6 ..)
I put 7 to use metal
