I let the other descriptions for the technical details, I just note that mine is 2004, so there is di-Marzio custom, not the D-Sonic (the first models what).
10 for the character ', it's beautiful (the back of the neck is just gorgeous and visually in use), it ends perfectly, no default, it really has a quality feel.
UTILIZATION
First point: the handle. It's a trick mad ... A bit narrow but round about the head, then it flattens and widens up towards the body. It gives a really excellent playability, feel super comfortable thanks to the oil finish, and especially a chance to play really fast:
The ergonomics are also excellent, as the contours of comfort or balancing the weight, nothing wrong.
Access to acute is exemplary, I dare say more comfortable than RG, with the heel of the handle being well rounded ...
I let the sounds aside for the moment, I'll just say that (personal opinion) is not an easy guitar to play. It is surgically precise, unforgiving ca! It's really a quality instrument, if you do not touch after ca not. Me I put a good month before we really have it in hand.
Still 10 is the high end and it feels ...
SOUNDS
Already a vacuum, compared to a luke-sounding not, here you have a great resonance, it vibrates well, that makes you want to connect!
I could try on a morse ENGL steeve, a 5150 II, Mark V and my jvm 410. I'm still on my ass!
For cleans, it's beautiful, without going into a custom shop Stratocaster either. The bridge position has a lot of biting, it's aggressive. In intermediate is highly crystalline, for a really nice arpeggio or a funky plan (sounds a bit like Stevie Wonder or The Wall supersticious, really nice). In round is round, there's the body, bass is fine nothing to say. Then the piezo: D it has to fall ... by coupling with the magnetic circuit was baccarat crystal in his hands, and mind-blowing AC hangs language ... go watch videos on youtube, there are good quality show good sound quality. the piezo alone is frankly amazing, with settings on the back of the guitar you can really have very good acoustic records (to use a mixing board directly through the amp AC losing all the acoustic side) ... I insist to go through the table, it is magnetically coupled piezo foot, as I've ever played in my life clean, not even on my Stratocaster deluxe ... really, the cleans are amazing, I had not bought the guitar for AC but it's almost what attracted me the most!
AC crunch in the fact too, even if I did not lingered over it ...
Finally the disto ... Bin Day is the slip! Bridge pickup, great attack, great fishing, dynamic shake the house, harmonics fuse, short on gas! variations of attacks are perfectly transcribed, the mic is very responsive to your game: it can be very strong by attacking edge or soft picking, while keeping the accuracy and the definition hallucinating! you can even enter an open agreement and distinguish all the notes! AC actually sends the woods ...
Nice intermediate position, there is the sound of petrucci on Strange Deja Vu (passage with more rhythmic distortion splitters) is usable but less direct as fishing ...
In the heats, it is a treat, the ultimate for a solo ... even teasing the last box, the highs are audible, not aggressive at all, it is round, not AC drool is clear ... beautiful! playing a mere octave can realize the potential: everywhere on the run, any space on any string, the sound is balanced, you distinguish the notes at the same level and you ca décoiffe severe. It's really a listening pleasure!
Note the awesome vibrato, very good feel, précisn holding the agreement ... nothing to do with Floyd nags, it's effective, intuitive and not annoying to change strings!
Excellent sustain, natural harmonics coming out on lots of boxes ... The only downside is the volume difference between the positions 1.3 and 2, the split is less strong but hey it's insignificant.
10, I have not played better for now, and I never took my foot as much play, even in my room!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it 2 months, I am beginning to know her. I tried many guitars in the genus (luke, Steve Morse, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Vigier) but I always had a weakness for petrucci, and after 10 years of waiting I finally got to me pay, a super OCCAZ '.
Pros:
- Ergonomics, it's super comfortable, the neck is a delight!
- Cleans the sounds, I still come back, it's beautiful
- Distos who pull the stern, both in solo rhythmic
- The super vibrato, the best I've tried
- Selector very accessible (but which may obstruct some: /)
- A real quality instrument, not just a luxury, a true guitar pro
- Sustain the required tuning
Cons:
- Really too expensive new, importers are really ....... is abused margins they take
- Investment: you have a really good amp behind the curb on pain (my JVM does not follow at all, I will have to spend more!)
I've never played better, it really is a great tool, but versatile typed, but it can not please everyone ... I remake this choice with your eyes closed, I keep it carefully for many years of pleasure! a true massacre, a must, try to at least once!
