UTILIZATION

After cleaning and path settings in the luthier (worn frets but still ok)
The guitar is quite heavy and resonates very good sustain.
access to the upper frets is just ok
The handle is thick must be used
There is an ergonomic cut stomach and a pan body slightly inclined
near the lower side knobs.
It is slightly thinner than LP
I recommend a strap lock to protect it and a very wide strap
start weight

SOUNDS

Its level I tested on a Hughes and Kettner MK1 Triamp 100w (all-tube German excellent) with an open box harley benton G112 equipped () a ElectroVoice sro 12 l plus a t rex mudhoney (dino) equipment who has a lot of character but still very versatile.
Ben and it sounds powerful hot vintage cleans the split in his really cool
especially neck and super distortion is in the spirit chaud.A my opinion everything is possible but can be cold and surgical sounds V (very precise technical death) mahogany is there with her bump.
DiMarzios the dynamics can have a good slice slam trestle purring fluter
in the neck, high output even compared to HZ or 81 they are mostly warmer. I play a little of everything from blues rock, alternative, metal and this guitar extreme
excels in the big rock.Elle has a good dose of bass and low mids in stamp
DiMarzios and gives presence split I started playing 60's 70's repertoire. repeats In it leaves more room for the bass (compared to a Cort Z4) while being more pleasurable présente.Les solos are the more modern sounds z4 new métal.Je plays stoner grunge with my band and it's up: D

OVERALL OPINION

This is an exclusive guitar I got it at a very good price 450euros for shovel that is
I do not think back on such an opportunity.

What is unfortunate is that it has been produced in few copies.
She is very beautiful with a head between Aria pro pr 60 and Gibson melody maker
I had to work as an archivist to find info on this guitar
(Even Pearl could not help me), luckily there has forums.
The serial number is not a great help to date the instrument.

I no longer think me separate and yet I had a bunch of guitars in all ranges. strangely I kept a Z4 in Cort probably a good number, and this one of The Pearl guitar
company.
Super guitar made
