«  A brutal guitar? It is up to you! »

Published on 12/05/13 at 04:46
Made in Japan, with fixed bridge tailpiece, 22 frets, 1 volume pickup, a neck pickup volume, 1 tone general
Mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard, short scale Gibson type, curly maple table pretty nice (but must love. Finally me, I love), active EMG pickups, locking tuners.
Belle (or beautiful) manufacturing. Access to the battery (active pickups) by tilting door at the back of the guitar, practice.
Delivered in case ESP equipped suitcase gray wig and key lock, which weighs a death while the guitar is fairly light ane.

UTILIZATION

Nice handle, painted black on the back but it slips still good. Access to acute satisfactory (better than a hair on a LP which is not in the top material)
Good ergonomics, the guitar is pretty light and well balanced.
Mechanical hold good agreement, the guitar should be mounted 10-46 of origin or perhaps even less, I will give him 11-49 or more, it will support it well I think.
I changed the belt fastener by straplocks, the first thing to do on a guitar that uses group.

SOUNDS

Sounds that come kicking rock and heavy rock that spot depending on your game and your amp settings. But we can play soft, you can play muscular EMG responsive.
However the sound is drier than my Gibson ES-339, to give a point of reference (and it shows very clearly dixit harvester who had not seen that I had changed hip).
I play on a Rectifier, and overall you can walk to the nice bright pop, to blues / rock drooling, finally to metal: so it's pretty flexible. Drought guitar is offset to the game or the settings of the sound chain, if you like. In any case, if you want the edge, the pickup will make you happy.

OVERALL OPINION

Recently purchased, new (which is not my usual), notice is therefore not detailed yet, of course.
I fell for the ergonomics of the guitar and the beauty of the table. The fear that I might have about the sound of EMG was quickly swept by the tests I have done in the shop, in which I bought. On my hardware, it responds very well and gives me a lot of latitude sound.
A practice guitar, with which one can do a lot of things and explore a lot of styles of music, and not really extreme if desired.
Point nice compared to my Gibson ES-339 used earlier group: the feedback control is much better, and even that is my excuse for having bought it (as if we needed a reason, but good)
So for the moment, a purchase that fits well with what I wanted.
Only real regret: the box is a tank that weighs heavy in his hand. Provide a good and pretty cover will be my next investment.
