Published on 11/04/14 at 09:50
- Made in Korea (Indonesia on Vintage Black)
- Mahogany body
- Set neck 24 frets mahogany
- Rosewood fingerboard, jumbo frets
- Benchmarks by pearled "flags" inlaid with model name at 12th fret
- EMG-81 and EMG-60 active electronically
- Mechanical oil bath (self-blocantes were more mechanical, even for this price range)
- Stop bar tailpiece and bridge Tune-O-Matic
- Black nickel hardware
UTILIZATION
Trouble free use, this guitar is a real pleasure to play. I was sawn to see that it is lighter than my Squier Stratocaster! on the other hand I think the position of the microphones (tight enough between the two) does not make the game shred, especially palm-muting.
SOUNDS
I play mostly modern metal granted Drop C. The combination of EMG 81 + 60 is ideal for this style of play. Having found the EMG 81 too "synthetic" I changed the pickup to a Seymour Duncan Blackout 1B. The mixture of the two microphones is perfectly: I have all the precision and sharpness of EMG60 combined heat and the huge gain of Blackout. Therefore ideal configuration for modern metal.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 months now. I love the Les Paul style with a dark version of bourrinne acastillage. I tried a lot of style, but this slight scratches with microphones that send puree is great for modern metal. For the vintage metal I rather recommend the version with Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio.
