UTILIZATION

I found the perfect race, I feel more comfortable on the BC on my Les Paul and access to the treble is super easy ...
in terms of ergonomics nothing wrong either, the guitar is very balanced and spend hours on it is not synonymous with punishment given its relatively light weight ...
The sound is very much appreciated and readily available especially in single coil because it is especially the attack string that is predominant in obtaining sound and not the fact of turning the knobs in all directions, add to that the different controls that offer a wide range of what the consequences will be to find her a fellowship we will have many hours with the corny and that&#39;s good -> so no problems to report ... It is well known Floyd prememière my guitar and this is the first time I played on a guitar do not be equipped with a Tune-O-MATIC so I need a lil getting used to regarding the placement of hands, fingers Straight

SOUNDS

I find that more versatile, both in clear, saturated ... From jazz to the bush ...
Personally I find the level of the microphone a little too high so I take care to adjust my amp (a 2555 JCM Slash Signature) properly or I am not the volume of the microphones 10 ... I still have trouble to characterize the beast but I really feel you can touch everything: crystalline, oily, slightly crunchy clean, crunch, small and large saturation
I love micro serious tone without putting thoroughly singles exploited in any way whatsoever, I still have a little trouble with the phase switch, I did not find eg the sound I agree with the inverter or pe as it simply does not suit me ... I did a glue DD6 buttocks ...
So my only comment will not associate his style Heavy sounding rather it can procurer.Sinon for brevity we are not in the presence of the ultimate instrument, but I think that unless bad faith it will be difficult to decry this instrument because it must keep in mind the price range, the potential, the gap that separates it from the Mockingbird SL (the model it is supposed to be a copy)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 months and I am fully satisfied ...
For now no question of any change in operating microphones (but I keep in the back of my head the idea of ​​the climb alnico II), I will enjoy my first musical experience with the guitar in his original state.

Its particularity is to copy her big sister the SL is the mocking red Slash uses on You Could Be Mine (role she filled&#39;re not really objective). I drool every time on this guitar when I see it, it is a custom model a price of around € 3500 and include a waiting time of more or less a year after commande.elle not suitable to my game or my bourse.C is therefore natural that I fell back on the ST ... After a few tries I decided to radically change my approach to this instrument, a guitar is full, I stop to compare it constantly on the SL and does not think that the ST is that the SL is at the Gibson Epiphone but happy temperament of my "collector" (I fall for everything that contains the word Slash) ... has its own character, it m &#39;teaches more than any other guitar to get into a quest for her because I always thought that this was not the number of knobs that determined the number of his that can be drawn but that I must see my trial ...

The value for money for me is excellent but let&#39;s be clear I have found defects in finishes, materials used are not the best on the market, mics etc etc but not the instrument is super interesting and half its price gives you the ORIGINAL FLOYD ROSE, mechanisms GROOVER, A Varitone, ELECTRONIC AND DIFFERENT

I would do this choice without any problems as it should be noted that I embark on the acquisition of this instrument without even trying (although I found it inconceivable) as it is possible to revisit the Thomann 30 days of purchase ... and after my experience I would call the instrument "surprise" in that despite the fear of hitting something unpleasant is quite the opposite has past and "challenging" because it makes me change of mind in relation to my musical habits as it is for the purchase, the sound etc etc ... and I&#39;m sure it will impact guitar and my journey will give me the satisfaction of both sounds and other levels.

As you can see, I have to save the talk about it sounds like-so, if it does not, should not for that, I enjoyed it more for the same price BUT I just continue déjàs started discussions on the various forums and I repeat it is not the ULTIMATE guitar but some will appreciate and remember well the price and features ... after all is a matter of taste!!
