Settings: A Flight / Push Pull (selector / vol 2 in 1)
Body: Mahogany

UTILIZATION

The handle is a wonder to me, is slipped over, I do not think it is fine and I even feel that it is convex, in short, he reminds me of Les Paul and those he is flat and very practical, good for shred and rhythm!
It is fairly lightweight and not very space-saving shape and fit perfectly in a Gator Extreme Case! Considering the shape and style in which it is moving it is not for play but it is sitting still feasible for me, otherwise very good balance and despite my nylon strap! She did not move a hair! Access to acute, I even know if I need to say, it shows directly ... So simple, the neck-and shape make it a delight for aficionados of the treble!
This gives a good sound easy, in fact it is just a fit, and there is the high class of the input jack is located behind the body of the guitar, so invisible on stage! And the sound of the pickups is really good, that of the handle in clear sounds really good and Rockfield for distortion is really good, it's hot, it sounds good!

SOUNDS

It should be really metal for me is the guitar I use for the Black Metal and Death / Trash! I do disappoint anyone by saying that this is not a versatile guitar, it's made for metal, it shows, you can hear the sound it can get, very fat, warm harmonics that make Granny deaf, anywhere on the fretboard, it may sound very clean or well mixed, so as the microphones that we chose, I'll soon be tested that provides an S3 or S4 coupled at 81 or 85 above (it does can ring as well: The body is mahogany!) unfortunately I play on my hi-fi with a distortion pedal behringer ultra metal, but it gives me really good sound with heavy bass and good treble that emerge, j 'waiting to buy a Vox 120 + to tell you how it goes over, already on a VT100 it sounds really good! I do not hate none of its sound, but it remains a personal opinion, I like playing all over the neck and all the strings do not bother!

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 1year, I was starting models before this one and a Warlock for 90's and I prefer the playability of Draco! But the Warlock is a close second despite a handle screwed! Having tested a lot of other makes and models dedicated to metal, I recommend it! The finish is clean, neat and bright ... No defects except that it has a Tune-o-Matic and I would have really preferred a Pink Floyd of metal, but it makes a weak argument given the sound it has! This is perhaps not the perfect race for me either but it's still one of the best ever for me, I'm seeking the best and it is listed!
The value for money: Really good for the price was really the quality is not the stuff of m ****, and frankly after a year she still has no scratches, no pets, nothing ' has changed, the hardware is always nickel! Not a rust spot or I do not know what, but I'm also very careful, I wash my hands before playing x) In short it is always fresh!
I would do if this election? For me there's no choice had was a bond, with a mouth like that and sound so good there's no hesitate for a minute!
