UTILIZATION

The handle is a "flat-u" is a real highway! For me it's the best round I've had between the legs, it is really suited to my playing.
The guitar itself is a bit heavy if you have not used, but as I say it is the weight of quality. Little tip, consider installing the strap locks quickly (preferably Spertzel) if you do not want it wallows royally one day!
Access to acute is still more difficult than the KH2, but still good after ca detail.
For sound nothing to say 2xEMG 81 is clear, precise and flawless.

SOUNDS

I play mainly heavy metal, and I use essentiellemnt into pieces with lots of solos, and fills his role perfectly, I feel at times it plays all alone! The madness!
Otherwise I use an amp Laboga Mr Hector, and the combination with the EMG 81 is truly sublime, a very heavy distortion and accurate, it sounds fabulous.
If not for the clean is doing it not so bad, it takes a little play with the knobs of the amp and tone, but frankly it could be worse!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, and as a small world because I bought from papanowelle who also left a notice. Otherwise I had already a few years ago, but I am unfortunately the separate ... now it's clear I will never leave!
For me it's the best guitar in the world, the next goal KH2 Ouija!!
