UTILIZATION
Little review of the head to the "feet". I can already tell you that for the price, you do not care about you, the guitar is thought for maximum user comfort.
The guitar is equipped with mechanical lock, if you've never used, is an accessory which has been very difficult to happen after trying it. The principle is that the mechanical features a knob that allows you to tighten the rope once in position, thereby avoiding the little annoyances that occur regularly such as "shit, I folded the rope but it moved anyway."
The saddle has no strings but blocks of a system to Musicman ... I found this little accessory that's so convenient, I was very disappointed not to find it here. The seller assured me quickly by pressing the vibrato arm, to the point of totally losing their tension in the strings, without exaggerated result: perfectly tuned, you scratch an agreement and we appreciate their accuracy. Bluffing.
I'm quite a fan of the team that handles wizzard Ibanez prestige, indeed I have one, it's true that it slides very easily. I'm "sorry" to say they were beaten by the neck of this guitar: a hair coarser, better slides, access to acute flawless, the guitar comes with an action (string height over the button on the handle) ... very low I do not know what is above "highway", saying it is a race circuit!
The body has a screwing to the forearm, again it's a small thing, but it's so convenient! Completed fatigue, however small it may be, whether sitting or standing position, your forearm is literally "raised" on the body, you just have to play your wrist. Obviously it is not heavy, since it is rather thin, but enough so that the guitar does not address the side of the head.
Another small detail that kills the controls are equipped with small "rings" rubber for easy grip!
IN BRIEF: This is the Rolls Royce. The ultimate in comfort, everything is thought up this concept in detail, you can play for hours without getting tired! You just think to hydrate and eat from time to time.
SOUNDS
I'm not really eclectic, I play almost exclusively metal (Slayer, Metallica, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation, Morbid Angel, Darkthrone ...) although I sometimes go in clean and I do not spit on versatile instruments, as the quality is by appointment. Typically, a guitar that excels in its light will be some weaknesses in distortion and vice versa. Here it is not the case. FYI, I tested the guitar on a Mesa Dual Rectifier, without effect.
In his clear, the neck position is the avalanche of midrange and bass, the warm sound par excellence in the bridge position is more crystalline, more mids and high mids, and there you can go to the clacking sounds .
With distortion, the neck position, we find the personality of the microphone, and Sharpness for solos and in the bridge position is immediately much more manly, the microphone sound crazy, you can tackle any style muscular just playing a bit on the tone knob.
Whether you are a bright or saturated, or easel in the neck position, one thing to remember about these microphones: they are very respectful way you play the instrument. You can literally come out of completely different sounds simply by attacking the strings softly as a bully or thick, it's really halucinant! Difficult to dislike anything in this guitar: it is able to address all your little game to be adapted.
OVERALL OPINION
I tested it in a store, for a future purchase. I tried many other top models before trying it, including Gibson Les Paul Custom, a Jackson RR1, a PRS Custom 24 and an ESP M-II. I think quite honestly it beats them all soundly, and I was skeptical when the ability to get out of this guitar sounds extreme death metal vein in the U.S., I was wrong and that is what m has conquered, and the fact that it may also cleans out the rich.
I think it's a guitar "luxury" thinking in every detail for the comfort of your playing. Obviously you have to put the price, I will buy version 7 ropes around 3600 € (public price), but I think you're not stolen, or at least not much when compared to more expensive guitars and who have done a much worse effect (I think especially at the Gibson LP Custom). So it's a quality / price ratio "copy".
