Value For Money :
Excellent
This guitar is made in Korea and finished in the USA. Extra jumbo frets 24, emg 81/85 pickups, Tune-o-matic tonepro, 2 volume knobs and one tone, mahogany body with set neck with a touch of rosewood, interspersed with references cross-shaped Gothic.
I put 9 because it is possible to do better, but this is great.
UTILIZATION
The handle is pretty average size, and allows to be as comfortable as the rhythmic solos. The neck is glued, so access to treble is excellent (it is also easy to play the last boxes in the bottom of the handle, except the size of the boxes). The form allows a stratocaster type playability optimuum both sitting and standing. In addition, the guitar is pretty light, so playing up is not a problem.
I put 9 because I would have preferred a flatter neck, even if the handle is very comfortable.
SOUNDS
We enter the heart of the matter: the sound. Like the Gothic cross, the name and EMG show, this guitar is for the metal, which is my favorite style of music. For others, go your way, this guitar you are not destiny.
Coupled with a good amp (for me it is a ValveKing Royal 8), this guitar can indulge in the kind of music the most violent. The riffs and solos peracute pests spend so perfectly with the emg 81. The 85 allows the minimum versatility. A clear, precise enough, and bluesy sound that seems good (I'm not an expert in blues).
Sounds worth a 10 for the metal / shredder base, and much less for others.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this guitar for about 9 months, and it's always a treat to play. Being left handed I did not have many choices, so I chose this guitar for sound, although I would have preferred a more flat and round a floyd rose. The value for money is good I think. For € 850 there is not much left on the shelf.
If I had to redo this choice, I would save a little for a jackson soloist, which would correspond more to what I play. But this guitar is excellent, and I advise all left wanting to play metal / shred and other types affiliates.
