Detailed in other reviews, I will not m'apesantir its characteristics; mine, I have for ten days, is Burgundy Wine. Its look is axceptionnel and recalls violently Maton semi-hollow played Jesse Hughues (Eagles of Death Metal) and he attributes to his friend volonotiers Josh Homme (QTSA) - perhaps a little why I l 'I bought it too (Seymour Duncan H4 as the Maton), because I'm a fan of the sound man (he uses a guitar) - Excellent finishing lpus is what makes it even better. Balanced handle and easy to play, especially in the treble.
Sounds: all according to the settings but we will return
UTILIZATION
Much lighter than my Gisbon Studio (about 2 pounds less) and more enjoyable to play (much less hardy) - I know it hurts to say beyond a Korean, but let's goals (especially me) and does voiloons face it: this guitar is amazing quality of play
SOUNDS
I play heavy rock / punk with, usually, a combination Studio Gibson / Marshall 150W lamps, but as I said I like the sound QOTSA, and then like many other guitar sounds, many clearer and clear, difficult to obtain with Gibson (objectively not made for that) - well with the Whalebone, everything is there:
The Seymour Duncan bridge (H4?), In combination or not with the SD handle (H2?) Sounds exceptionally well in the big sounds, much less crunchy than Gibson, warmer, more sustain as well, semi-hollow body helping.
The SH2 handle has extremely sound and airy jazz.
Splitter (split by micro push-pull on the two pickups together and it is a shame), the pickups are a Fender undeniable dimension
So it's a huge range that can be obtained with three adjustment positions of the microphones and the split of these (6 configurations, therefore, very different from each other)
Obviously micro SD (US origin, not a copy) make a difference (alone, nearly € 200 for a skyscraper at 645 ...)
OVERALL OPINION
We must ignore the brand, not very romantic, once past the general snobbery is to say that connement play on a Korean brand of the distributor is anti rock at will (this may be true but I do not care), we can objectively play a guitar from a strictly exceptional value for money, a rare quality, flawless finish, all for the price of € 645 (it could be worth 1500 and it does is not really surprising)
Moreover it is delivered in flight case (well made), with a good big padded leather strap, an extra set of strings (brand Whale) and a jack (shit) that will troubleshoot maybe one day.
Go try it
It is very
