Published on 09/27/10 at 10:33I will use the description of the previous post because very good:
-Made in Korea
-24 Frets jumbo 2.7mm
-2 Dual Rockfield Mafia model
samples available http://www.rockfieldpickups.com/mafia.html
-Floyd Rose Original tremolo with
-2 Volumes, 1 tone, 1 three-position switch for the pickups, 3 mini switches for pickup coil 2 tap and a phase inverter, ainsiqu'un Varitone tone filter (5positions) (all liabilities)
It is a round neck-and maple fingerboard is ebony
Regarding the wood used:
-Body: nato (eastern mahogany)
the layer thickness is 45mm
-AAA quilted maple veneer
In short, a true beast well equipped, especially for this price!
UTILIZATION
The handle is quite special, because I'm used to that of my ESP LTD KH-202, ie flatter a handle, and end. It is wide, thick, but very comfortable! The strings are a chouillat high relative to the handle, but I got used to (a point that when I play on my Les Paul dude, I'm not comfortable even if it is more nice for solos).
Specifically, the shape of the skyscraper kills, and it does not mind to play (we're talking about playing seated, or for access to acute even standing). It weighs a bit, but once you get used to everything!
To get a good sound, we must understand how all the switches and mini Varitone. Ideally, we understand anything is unclear, but after that we've busted the thing, it explodes!
SOUNDS
Sound, or rather the sounds are excellent! The Rockfield surprised me! The bridge pickup has the punch, he sends, without being cold. The neck pickup is as expected, warm and round. But where it gets interesting, c pickups coil tap: in fact it can spliter the humbuckers to get a simple microphone! I use it mostly on the neck pickup, to get a beautiful sound stratum, which is significant in clean, but for blues solos! I thought by changing the micro Duncan Alnico II by buying it, finally I hesitate ba ^ ^ "
I play mostly hard rock, glam rock, some blues and some metal. Well, this shovel allows me to play all this! Sound has the Guns n 'Roses or Scorpions? No prob! It is made to AC! A style of Poison Unskinny Bop? It works, in split bridge pickup! Little wing or a lil red house? No worries! Steve Vai a trip? Ditto!
You can really get any of this guitar, although for typical metal palm mute I prefer my ESP.
The floyd rose is excellent, much better than my ESP!
I play a Line 6 SpiderValve 212, and sometimes a Marshall MG100-DFX, and whether on one or the other I get the sound I want, even if I almost never Varitone: I always leave the same position, it's true that I do not understand how it works too.
Ah, the mini little clarification of reverse phase switch is used to invert the mic used simple once you splité one or two humbuckers (one feels especially when you put the selector to use the media for 2 humbuckers). Means if you change the part of the humbucker used (up or down).
In short, I am filled, I get the sounds I've always tried in one guitar!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since February 2010, after a first guitar that I'd rather forget, and an ESP LTD KH-202 which I still have. I tried other guitars (Les Paul, Stratocaster Mexican, an Ibanez and 2, 3 models ESP).
And specifically, it has absolutely nothing to envy them, it was a sort of mix between a Start and Les Paul (I exaggerate a little, but really not much) with a Floyd Rose. I bought it looking for a warmer sound than my EMG ESP, I was directed to an Explorer in the beginning, but I really wanted a Floyd Rose!
In short, I love it, I just know I used 100% of the skyscraper (I mean the Varitone). The value for money is just huge, there was a scraper to keep long, good quality, versatile and look devastating. I would do without hesitation that choice, even to buy new in store.
