UTILIZATION
* The handle is it nice? bluntly: I always played with a stratovolcano, and there is no adaptation time, great for solos or rhythmic arpeggios.
* Access to acute (last string) Is it easy? the last frets are contrary to what I thought sounded really well and accessible, should not do after 10 minutes of improvisation at this point ... Anyway the guitar is in my opinion not made for that!
* Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? No worries in weight (I play standing) on the other hand is not as nice as other forms of guitar playing when he is seated, but we made it!
* Gets it easy to sound good? it restores the attack very well and is not complicated to solve, and therefore really suits the game of scratch I think.
SOUNDS
* Are they suitable for your style of music?
To play rock, great! For funk AC can also do it, no problem for the blues, pop, hard or very heavy metal with good effect!
* With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Blackstar HT amp lamp 5w + Zack Wylde overdrive pedal (I recommend strongly, despite the slight hiss)
* What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
I do not see how his could not get with this guitar! Obviously the sound is round, warm and fat first! But playing on micro + tones and setting the treble on the amp, there is a snapping sound as well! One I remember most SUSTAIN THE MADNESS!
* What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I love playing on the micro as well as serious ryhtmique that lead. The intermediary is a very good compromise, and for busting the eardrums y 'Acute aggression in its purest form! Yet it is still very audible!
OVERALL OPINION
* For how long have you been using it?
1 month: I see him do all the colors and I'm surprised every day! All my friends are amazed Zikos sound it sends!
* What thing do you like most/least about it?
+ +: The big sound
+: Colors look pest in Brown Cherry
-: Not found (go to quibble, there's not the famous maple table of standard models ...)
* Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes: Lespaul TV Yellow (90's edition), Hagstrom super swede select, Gibson Lespaul standard, Paul Reed Smith (model in the 750 €), USA stratocaster standard, ltd ec 1000 ... It's convinced me Faded (to be tested on the same amp as yours if possible, especially on the lamp!)!
* What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Unbeatable for a U.S. manufacture of my knowledge and sound and playability
* Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
No problem: my friends who have guitars in the 1000 € are green!
