Colour Gloss Black - Black Cherry
Equipment level, not much to report. It is designated for the metal and equipped accordingly. It's simple and effective is a modern configuration which I think ranks among the most relevant (thank you the mahogany body and glued the handle).
IMPORTANT: The guitar has two volumes, one can enjoy the famous effect toggle switch (Listen to the solo Wake Up RATM). It's a little more really nice.
UTILIZATION
As for the handle, I think it's one of the main strengths of the instrument relative to the rest of the production 7 string (I think mainly Ibanez, and to a lesser extent, ESP and LTD).
- The handle is wide enough (logic tell me ...) but there is no concern I assure you even with small hands. Do not be afraid
The neck is very flat and the key is fine polish. this type of profile can really be comfortable on. It's very nice and really comfortable.
The action is very well set the strings are fairly close the handle and any effort to make this game to the next.
- Access to acute smoothly (the cutaway is perfect) and is reminiscent of the Ibanez RG.
- Ergonomics: the instrument is a reasonable weight, slightly heavier than the average of the mahogany. The body has an ergonomic design for back comfort ACRU. Level playing comfort is truly a guitar of choice.
SOUNDS
Let's go into the heart of the matter: the ITS
So now, if you play the Bossa Nova go your way.
Metal is a guitar, and my opinion is based on this aspect.
My config: Peavey Triple X, peavey 4x12 cabinet, Boss Equalizer G7.
In full: A high output level for the position of sharp, very precise in the bass, treble that look good. The grain is much less a rock Seymour JB example: you get an EMG with its less aggressive but more rocky. If we stay on a metal base equalization we are in the territory of Slipknot. It is easily possible to erase this point thanks to a Boss GE7 by boosting the mids a little, it becomes heavier and more dense. We'll hit more home metallica (period ... And Justice for all) or Nevermore.
It's pressure without problem, and important detail: when you play a little evil grin appears on your mouth without you is paying attention ... A sign that does not lie
The major micro eased by keeping all this sound characteristics similar ideal for melodic lines or phrases more roots.
The intermediate position is interesting.
It offers a lot of fullness while keeping a level of output result. The color reminds me a lot of Deftones White pony. in saturated fat ca drooling a little.
In clean: The ca ... is complicated As the happy owner of a strat Xavier Petit, it is difficult to be fully at the party with the Hellraiser. However, nothing catastrophic, but it seems that the benefits of defects are saturated Clean: Bass a little too present, a sound quite clinical (EMG will say you ...) and aggressive treble. The microphone is doing serious honorably still with a small chorus, but it is sorely lacking warmth.
The Crunch: It's interresting with the intermediate positions, which ultimately proved quite flexible. For the arpeggio saturated everything goes well enough, lowering the volume.
For the small blues, it's a fair bit ...
Always aggressive on that side emerges. Please note this is not necessarily bad but it depends on what you are looking for. Ibanez is a more appropriate shades.
In short, it bears its name well lol.
The record must for me is to have a guitar like this one for distortion and a stratum or are paul for clear sound, and then it gets really interresting.
OVERALL OPINION
I have been 6 months and I am really satisfied. I tried a lot of seven-string before purchase and I think Schecter to put a severe blow pressure Ibanez, level quality / price is broadly equivalent and are entitled to the mahogany, which I think is a woods with the best response for low register full. Especially the comfort of the guitar is second to none.
There is no boiling, if the bass is very distinct and it is really saturated sound very very good.
I am owner of an Ibanez RG 507 mounted in Seymour for almost 12 years, so trust me lol
Obviously I would do this choice. If you play metal and you are looking for a seven-string guitar is really trying (with the BlackJack, which in turn is a little more rock and sends really well)
PS: Your amp will have a role, this kind of guitar does its full potential as a receiver in a minimum fit and quality. So be careful, try on your gear equivalent to the risk of being disappointed when you get home if you play a Fender combo ...
See You in Hell!
