Guitar entirely made in France for this particular model (it is now made in China).
For specifications, see the other view
Rather than the technical side, I will try instead to talk about here on the aesthetic, highly subjective and futile point I agree, but we must recognize that this criterion plays a rather large, if not dominant in moment of choice (remember Wayne's World)! In my humble opinion, this is what one might call a very nice guitar. Yet before the choice, I was more attracted to the shapes Start '. The quasi-symmetry of the body is there for something. Its curves are terribly feminine! The head is not as beautiful as the Arkane but its shape is smooth. The cherry color is well worth all. You want to tighten it against you, and that's what is important! In short, the slogan "Rock Chic" Lag suits him perfectly (I admit that this is the first time in my life that I assume have been influenced so much by the pub!).
UTILIZATION
The neck is incredibly fast, at least for me who had just acoustic world, I was not used to such gameplay. Faster than a Start 'and obviously not commensurate with an LP. You can play for hours with this guitar without finishing with a wrist and fingers destroyed. An happiness. Very good for the Elixir strings. My only downside will also like other testers of the key.
The access to the latest box is excellent for the treble but for serious.
As some point out, sitting comfort at stake is not optimal because of its very pronounced curves (they are so beautiful!). So I play most of the time standing, and again for me it is fairly new and challenging. Especially since the weight is very reasonable (the coup we lose some sustain). Especially do not go without moving!
SOUNDS
I mainly play blues and rock on a Vox amp, and confirm the impression from other testers: it sounds round, hot, almost feline ...
Obviously the sound possibilities are multiplied with the splitting of the microphones. A config that I like: double neck pickup / volume to 75%, acute simple micro / 100% volume, tone and selector max in a central position: in this crunch is my grunt-logical.
It took me a little change the respective heights of the original pickups because the differences in output levels were too marked (bass and treble a bit soft too slammin). Delta still a little but it's satisfying.
Edit 25/09/2008: After many hours of use, some shortcomings have emerged: The sticker Lag of the head was off, the sound of mass, especially in micro splitter, and a slight lack of agreement on the G string. Apart from that, the sound of this guitar always delights me with joy! Built for rock, funk, jazz, blues ...
OVERALL OPINION
Choosing a new guitar for me is more love story than a reasoned choice. Some technical details are involved, certainly, but above all it's eye contact and who will enter more into play. I tried a little of everything before you fall for it, rather in the U.S. market. We are sometimes surprised, a guitar class that was found good enough to eat in magazines can be found in your hands and ... the magic does not operate. Then they said well that's it I think I found (for me it was a wonderful opportunity to Start U.S. spotted in a shop in Paris) ... And this little Roxane you never dared to look too far because it probably was not the stand of "great", appears on your knees like that by accident (at the base was to try an amp!). And the charm is overwhelming, inexplicable! Of course the week after we reflect, compare, we traverse the net up and down for more information. Then we go back to try again ... And the book to finally acquire the following week.
The factory settings were fairly disastrous for cons, I had to take a whole afternoon to repeat for my taste (but the shop would he not do it before I sell it, usually?).
After several weeks of use, not only the charm remains, but is increasing from session to session. The choice was passionate but it is nevertheless very reasonable. We are in the presence of a finely crafted instrument, very expressive, with world-class microphones, for a price we are lying in the strata of the U.S. standard Gibson SG. An alternative therefore should not be overlooked. To see if the models now made in China have kept the same quality manufacturing ... it remains otherwise the Roxane Prestige but there is no longer in the same price range!
I would do if this choice? Should be able to say already that it really me or chose another
Come on, 10/10
Edit: 25/09/2008: Well no change in my opinion! A tip, do not compare a pale imitation Chinese, it has nothing to do! If a guy wanted to buy me some time ago, I laughed at him
