«  Nice finish, guitar-oriented metal »

Value For Money : Excellent
See more reviews for the product description, the guitar is well finished and ergonomics is good for a mid-range guitar.

UTILIZATION

The ergonomics of the handle is correct, much rounder than the handle of a Prestige RG but not necessarily less enjoyable to play, depending on the register in which one ventures!
Well it is certainly on the midrange, but the setting of the handle and the bridge are quite tedious to a result that will require you to stay at medium speed beyond the 15th fret. The setting is not a harmonic precision.
The sound setting could not be easier with two pots (one volume, one tone), a volume control for each humbucker is a little extra nice.
The weight of the beast is reasonable so no worries for the game on stage, attention straplocks essential if you do not want to take the vehicle on foot.

SOUNDS

Ahhhh the sound, difficult to be objective as the parameters are many, so I made my little benchmark on my tube amp (Peavey JSX) with RG 2570 Prestige and MKelly Hex / Vex with no frills that a distortion in the effects loop of the amp. Compared to EMG and IBZ / Dimarzio an RG Prestige, I find the D-Activator of ICT less versatile, they certainly have a high output for passive pickups but lack of definition in the bass with distortion and personality in the end because even associated with a ébénesterie well made with a handle across the substain is correct and no more.

OVERALL OPINION

It's shape reminds me of Paul shovels or Sam (connoisseurs will know who I mean) that I first decided to invest the modest sum of 300 euros, and it is clear that we are for money at this rate there:)
It's a versatile guitar that is ultimately oriented metal and shred rather than rhythm, a change of pickups could advantageously upgrade the beast but considering the price of a kit Blackouts, in my case much change scratching!
