The configuration is quite similar to the eclipse II so simply for technical reference.
Made in Japan and beautiful finish, 22 frets, it has 2 EMG 81 (active), a side handle and an easel.
The version I own has the same settings that gibson: a volume set, volume one bridge, a tone set, a bridge and a tone selector 3 positions.
Good wood, neck-through, everything is there.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, much more than the LTD. Enough but not too late, it is slightly rounded (less than the Gibson). Regrettably still have access to acute not quite clear (less than my RG ...). This guitar is obviously more tailored for rythmmiques only for flights super acute.
The guitar itself is rather light (his strength) without losing too much chest and sustain. Even without the plug in the guitar sounds of thunder.
The configurations are easy to find and the sound is there immediately.
Be careful, this guitar is not equipped with floyd, benefit when used not (no loss of sustain and body) but must be aware that we will all need some limited pieces.
SOUNDS
Bon bein force it you're in the thick of things. The sound that comes out of this guitar is huge. You tell me, bein necessarily at that price! Bein yes and no ... the value is pretty good. It was a truly exceptional guitar for a price that is "affordable"
In bridge pickup, the sound is clear without being really slamming crytalin. Very good anyway. Bass good round but it lacks a little body. It's not force the best configuration for the clear. In crunch, but it is too dirty. All need, it's clean and it's not drooling and especially one begins to recognize the sound of bein EMG and we all need urge to push. In full, it is very big, very specific. Be careful not to push the saturation of the amplifier block. With such a potato is not worth it and you will lose some teeth by compressing the sound.
In neck pickup, the sound a little drooling but still pretty accurate. All need it least, but the slap sound is nice and soft without being stifled. Nice enough to clear small solos in which the guitar will be able to give full sustain. When one enters crunch is very good. Again solo is very beautiful, the grain is soft and fine with still a lot of fishing. In saturated'm not a fan of this type of sound, but those who love the solos very fluid with a lot of sweeping and tapping will be conquered.
The config has two microphones, for me, to be reserved for clear sound. By setting the correct tone knobs you get a jazzy sound to die for. A real treat!
To sum up bein a versatile guitar with still a high degree of satisfaction for metalheads like me. Hard to beat at this price (and even beyond!)
OVERALL OPINION
I use this guitar for a few months and I am more than satisfied. So, I can not play back on the others!
Obviously this guitar gives its full potential on the metal but it can still fit in some rock and jazz musicians a little upset.
I tried a lot of models in a price range from € 1000 to € 3000 and the one I had.
The transparent black finish is beautiful and the view alone we see that it's not the Camelott.
