Mandareing
Published on 06/29/07 at 09:09
Mahogany guitar made in China.
24 frets, double humbucker pickups BC Rich.
A volume control, a tone, a tone micro, micro selector.
Channel included in the body, drawing very successful.
The overall finish is superb, truly superior to the Bronze series that abound in this constructor. The wood is not varnished, but painted in a matt black the most beautiful effect.
UTILIZATION
The back of the neck dess is a weakness of this guitar. This has an unfortunate tendency not to slip enough to hook the thumb or the palm of your left hand, which is still annoying after one hour of rehearsal. Being more accustomed to the highways in Ibanez, I just fought with it during the first tests, but you get very quickly, and when you put the good grab on it, it becomes difficult to let go.
Access to acute is a real treat, cutting the body to reach the last box without any problems.
Aaaah, the eternal problem of the ergonomics of Warlock! This is no exception to the rule, and pitches down as soon as you let go of the handle. However, I was less bothered by this flaw as I feared, just hold the handle at all times to prevent it.
on the other hand, it turns out great for playing sitting (!), Because cutting the base lends itself to multiple positions that do not support too much on the thigh. A real treat for me as prone to tendinitis caused by the installation of a prolonged guitar on the leg.
The sound is very good, but obviously very typical metal. If the purchase was made knowingly, we can be disappointed in this area.
SOUNDS
I use it as a second guitar, in addition to a metal Ibanez SZ-520 QM on a Roland Mini Cube. The bass is huge and pleasant surprise, treble are decent. If this is not a jazz guitar, it nevertheless retains a certain flexibility, and do not begrudge a small rock from time to time, even if its use is preferred that the big task.
I particularly aggressive, powerful bass, but I am thinking to swap the pickups BC Rich, a little runny, for Seymour Duncan, more accurate.
Edit, June 28, 2007:
Plugged into a Line 6 Spider III 15 watts, the beast starts to scream. After the first half hour, during which you wonder how to balance the sound terribly heavy (as to lose much in accuracy), it fiddles with the knobs. Okay, no real change. Then attacks the switch ... And the miracle happened! In the down position, the sound is enormous: bold and powerful, ideal for very heavy rhythms, and in the up position, the clean sounds are proving quite correct, accurate more than acceptable. Decidedly, as long as we play on the set, this guitar shows a versatility inatendue ... and welcome!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for three months and still happy with my purchase. I like its design, color and finish (neck, pearl inlay Widow in the seventh box, matt paint), which distinguish it clearly from the warlock coated interchangeable. I was looking for a typical metal guitar, and I was not disappointed, after trying the Ibanez in shambles and a Bronze Warlock, my choice fell on this beauty to loud sounds, and I would do without hesitation. In this range of prices (I paid 400 euros), it is one of great success.
