«  The superlative skyscraper »

Published on 02/12/11 at 15:01
Made in USA (it's written on it). Mahogany body and neck, maple table of Canada. Lutherie of the highest caliber. Flawless finish. Schaller that take the agreement unabated and nice little detail: the original Straplock (There is a scratch her, Mr. Larrivee!)
It appears that the body is hollowed chambers of resonances. Well, I'm not going to see it. What is certain is that the knobs turn smoothly and have a nice progression.
Mine is Amber finish with 2 humbuckers Imperial Jason Lollar.

UTILIZATION

The neck is kind of modern, relatively flat and very comfortable, but it is not a shred stick (it's good, it's not my niche).
The overall balance suits me well. The guitar stands in its place. It is much lighter than a LP and ergonomic design facilitate the game while standing. For access to acute in the genus Singlecut is what I've seen better.

SOUNDS

I played on a Koch Studiotone and I enjoy. We quickly found the sound that we seek, as long as you seek something that goes from jazz to blues and crystalline right surly with pedal. For metal, I dunno, it's not my thing. There is round and velvety if we want and then it can get rough and nasty as hell, just by varying the attack and setting tone. The sustain is outstanding and accuracy of its incentive to monitor his game (if you shit, that means serious, whatever.) But the comfort of the instrument makes it almost easy.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a telecaster which I love but it's quite another thing. Otherwise, I sold a Gibson 339 (sniff!) To buy the RS4. I do it again without hesitation that choice (even if it was hard to see from the arms of another, my 339). What I like most: sound, playability Least? Ben is that you can not get them all! Without dec, if you cross one does not try, you do not get over
