SlapKid « Fabulous! »
Published on 02/13/10 at 01:43I have since Christmas 09, the opportunity was too good to ignore.
The quality / price is insane, especially since I enjoyed a very temporary action of the importer (300 euros including case !!!). But at the normal rate is already fantastic, Seymour sh1n and SH4, split buttons on push-pull, class jack, precise mechanical and finish of the highest caliber.
All (frets, action, pickups height, intonation, mechanical clamping, action nut) was fitted, no recruiting! Although the first time it happens ...
Only drawback, it is the background noise by positioning relative to the amp, even non-splitters.
UTILIZATION
The weight is very light, surprisingly (2730 grams weighing suitcase type aircraft), and the back of the instrument is not chamfered what bothers me a bit nit-picking a bit.
The jack is directed so as not to interfere in the sitting game without cable elbow, it's cool.
The two separate volumes have their default, but especially their advantage, ie to move the handle to split fourth (light bluesy crunch) at full speed easel (high gain teeth) without pedals or multichannel or anything. Super.
In this regard Lag has bothered to mount small capacitors on the volume to avoid the loss of sharp definition and decrease when the knobs. Rare and very relevant.
SOUNDS
Acoustics as connected midway between them and sg, and more body heat than sg but without the compression of the artificial. This suits me fine.
The pickups are very clean and precise, I do not like, and especially the split is pretty dismal without relief or attitude yuck.
The bridge jeff beck cheating by having to sustain egg, not needed here. Very good microphones, however, I have installed in an Ibanez Ergodyne (at satch) and they shine brightly.
The Infinity 3 and 4 of the Ergodyne were found in roxane, but happiness: less clinic / accurate but super warmth and a level of output class. It is mainly splitted these pickups seymour ridicule, it's simple it looks simple fender!
OVERALL OPINION
Two months I have, I love this guitar, a good plan at all points of view. Note that this question microphones tastes of each stock is very good already, especially if you play hard with a group. No way for me to risk it in concert, it is far too beautiful for so my pickups are much better at lower volume.
The Ibanez Ergodyne with the microphones ensures roxane max group, and therefore no risk they dare go out with ...
Roxane This is beautiful, comfortable and elegant at once, some restraint over the mind amerloc flakes (I think Dolly Parton, James Burton Paisley tele ...) which really breathes class.
However, 600 new euro is not far from the real gibson sg les paul studio us even us. It weighs quite heavily in the balance I think, especially the day you sell it for.
Think!
Update: selector pickups Laché me very quickly (he returned alone in the middle, never seen it!), For the price limit is. I think the residual noise is due to complete lack of armor, I have the same problem on an eruption yds (les paul, 2 emg passive zero shielding) of the same type.
Update one year later:
I am very well accustomed to handle painted end of the machine, and ergonomics as well (the selector is great place). The weight is unbelievable, and it sounds like no other guitars of this type (mahogany-set neck) that I have or have had.
I really wonder if it is of mahogany in fact if not so much the better for me!
The tuners do not inspire me confidence, but they work very well.
The background noise is still there, weird for a double humbucker.
In fact, it surprises me a lot!
So surprised but charmed.
