UTILIZATION

The handle is thicker than average.

The shape is perfect, ideal for sitting or standing.

When seated, the weight imbalance a bit ... and the edge of the upper body of the guitar weighs a little on the chest.

The original sound was not too bad but I wanted to play Kirk Hammett, I quickly mounted EMG active.

SOUNDS

I play with POD 2 Mesa Boogie simulator big or small vox amp that simulates distos also good.
I sound mushy, greasy, good for rhythm.

Like the bottom of the guitar (micro acute) for heavy rhythm and I rarely use the microphone from the top except for some light parts or chorus slightly saturated.

OVERALL OPINION

For over 3 years that I played with.

It is too heavy in weight. The sound is good, trashy, heavy but not very subtle.

I like the aesthetics of this guitar and its two active pickups (which skews a bit of my decision).

Money right now but I will buy rather Cort for even cheaper.
