Damage of puppets « A gem! »
Published on 02/11/05 at 01:27The Features and especially the finish of this pretty Corenne are at least "surprising":
- Mahogany body,
- Channel 3 al 24 cases spices mahogany
- Blinding with abalone, which follows the contour of the guitar (neck, head and body),
- Rosewood fingerboard, inlaid with abalone taken in the name of the MODEL entered the 12th box.
- Nut Ervan good support for strings,
- Mcaniques self-locking oil bath,
- Black hardware,
- Fixed bridge type Tune-o-Matic/Stop Bar
- 2 EMG 81 active pickups,
- 3 potentiomtres (2 volumes + 1 Tone)
- 1 slecteur 3 positions.
The handle is in the vein Epiphone / Gibson.
This guitar is also available in black fittings avecun dor. Trs nice as well but I admit that I had a crush on this beautiful red "mahogany" table flaming. : P
UTILIZATION
The handle is comfortable and well finished trs. The key is lgrement round, which takes a little getting used to, especially when you're used to those of Jackson or some Ibanez.
The bars are prcises, Access in acute is not as easy as on a Stratocaster or a SG but the shape of the heel and a small dcoupe derrire the cutaway does not make it impossible for all (all are fawn achte not a guitar for his trains Paul Treble Access in). At worst it makes the guitar vertically as does Zakk Wylde Les Paul with the time to play a solo and everything is accessible without problem until the 24me box.
The self-locking mcaniques greatly facilitate the change of strings and the weight of the guitar is trs correct. Especially mahogany, which is to be rput heavy.
SOUNDS
This guitar is perfect for genres of music I play.
I t enjoyable surprised by the versatility of EMG 81. I had heard that these mics taient Reserved exclusively METAL is Fully wrong! I'm playing a lot of metal, I always carry hand a wide range of sounds that I turn my ds DIFFERENT knobs on the guitar and I change the micro selector 3 positions.
Whether clean, crunch on, or saturated I always thought my account of Contents sound. The sound is certainly trs dynamic but still clear and prcis. Or even Edge! This is one more instrument to bring out a mix or be heard as a group without having to push the volume too.
APRS good if it is to play only in clean or crunch it is clear that these are not the best mic in the world but remains acceptable even when.
J'apprcie much the two volumes to refine rglages when I change the micro slecteur to switch their heavy metal sound a little bluesy for example.
The bridge pickup is the one I use most. This is the most dynamic and adapts to both saturated as rhythmic solos.
The handle makes the well clean. It dlaisse some dynamics to compensate for dlivrer a more massive and packed with much more severe Submitted.
This is exactly the combination I wanted to sound!
The position intermdiaire dlivre bluesy sound nice in clean and saturated me parat adapts plans to address rockabilly, jazz or even to the level of saturation by the amplifier dlivr branch on which the guitar.
The mahogany gives rsonances beautiful notes and handle al highlights a long sustain, which can even be on a show almost infinite saturated its powerful!
Although sr, it is on all the lights that really goes the dynamics of the EMG 81 and the harmonic whistle better, but even when jai t bluff made by a Marshall MG30DFX and later on my multi-effects Boss GT-8 connected to a PA system.
Edit September 8, 2011: After seven years of use, I start getting tired of the sound of EMG 81. I bought a team of Ibanez passive pickups only recently to play in drop C # (the EC-1000 I use only normal tuning) and I find the clarity and pr radical decision EMG is an advantage as a inconvnient. There is a lack of standard and mdiums tural "prsence" my taste compared to passive pickups on my Ibanez.
So I think to change the pickups soon. Probably by Seymour Duncan.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a few years that I have and I do not regret my purchase.
It's a versatile guitar and trs enjoyable take control if only one likes radius not extremely flat and pretty finish.
I wanted a Gibson Les Paul to departure. But my budget limited me to try to amend other models less coteux (BC Rich, Epiphone, Ibanez) and finally t have a long drawn Ltd EC-400 found in store for a test.
I finally came across this little sister of The Eclipse of what the ESP EC-1000.
The only complaint I can do now this guitar is the lack of a split microphones.
t would have the icing on the gteau! But this lack is compensated by the still prsence of 2 volumes that allow rgler indpendamment the output level of each microphone.
Moreover, when the slecteur intermdiaire is positioned and the volume of the pickup is low enough we can get closer to the lens of a single coil.
I also had the opportunity to compare my EC-1000 Gibson SG with a friend for some time and I confirm that apart from the impressive weight of the SG (vritable a tree trunk!) The EC-1000 is very close to the Gibson style. Particularly in the handle and the key.
Sr level is that a wood is a little hollow compartment of the mahogany SG body that is in full while the EC-1000 should be half full but did not enlve qualities provided, which are more compar quhonorables an instrument that is about a few hundred euros more ....
