Gkevin « A good base for upgrade »
Published on 02/14/14 at 23:55º Guitar made in Korea
º solid basswood body
º Maple Table
Diapason º 630mm
º Rosewood
º in neck Maple
º Binding key, head and table
º thickness at nut 43mm
Mechanical º satin chrome
º Easel tune-o-matic
EMG HZ º SA-1 in the neck and EMG HZ TB-1 bridge
º 2 volumes
º Master Tone
º 3-way switch
Inlays º VIG-V color pearl on the handle
UTILIZATION
º On the handle is very comfortable, quite fast, though not as a flat round Ibanez, with a good cut that promotes access to acute. The action is set quite low, you have a perfect that it is rhythmic and solo comfort.
At fret work is very well done, at least on mine nothing to report.
º The lime is supposed to be fairly light, but here we are faced with a body mass Linden, and the beast is rather heavy (approximately 8kg I think), if you plan on doing concerts I advise you to have a very good strap otherwise it could quickly become annoying.
º It is very nice with a good cut somewhat reminiscent of the Eclipse in ESP (or EC-1000 if you tend LTD). The varnish is beautiful, with a binding that makes the full turn of the guitar: Body, neck and head. However, the varnish is very fragile, at least for me because it is the Satin Black model.
SOUNDS
The sounds are the big downside of this guitar, we are dealing with a rather good violin, suddenly necessarily economies are on the microphones ... We are given two EMG-HZ, impossible to lower end in EMG, they are hard to tame, once it is too fat, once it is too loud. In addition it is only built for the distortion, do not expect to play with her clean.
I've tried several amps with Fender Mustang II Peavey Valveking 112 Peavey Bandit 112, an old Musicman tube I do not know the ref, Blackstar HT-20. Whatever the amp, I've never really managed to get the sound I wanted to have.
OVERALL OPINION
VIG This was my first real guitar, I bought it in 2009, shortly before they changed their name to VGS, I was pretty young so I did not really know, and I took it for its aesthetic, nothing more.
Despite very poor microphones installed the violin is quite good, and the upgrade could be a very good idea.
With the experience I honestly do not do it again this purchase, bought at the time to € 280/290 I already find it rather expensive, and it is still more expensive as the VGS (€ 380 I think), at this price I think it is more interesting to focus on an Epiphone or LTD.
