UTILIZATION
The handle is very comfortable, I find it quite similar to that of a Music Man Axis "Super Sport". Or too flat or too arched, his profile is a very good compromise and allows for relatively easy a lot of antics such sweeping, return, etc.. It makes her way on such a race. A small problem, however: some kinks finishing at the hoop but nothing rédibitoire.
The freight access to the latest and very good. No problems to report.
The ergonomics are superb. No wonder when you know the original model. As J. Petrucci I play very high and it is difficult to find a model whose wife cut the cage toracique well. The PLO allows me to play in total comfort in this view. It also has a good weight + / - 3 kg, it is not too heavy as some models "broken back" can be and we do not feel like a toy "cheap" in the hands.
The sound is relatively good. Mics such as "Di Marzio" are pretty well saturated the road and especially in the large sweet but have a tendency to lose a little definition when pushed to the bottom. Its clean, it must be clear, these are humbuckers and you never get the qualities of its type "strata", but ... this is not the register of the guitar either. Personally I plan to replace with Di Marzio pickups such as those powering the old Ibanez Petrucci (Air Norton and Steve's special). I heard that the custom model (not found in stores) the music man was very close. Sustain on the other hand is extraordinary for a guitar of this price. For Jackson and perform higher-end Ibanez, I must say that the PLO is doing handily.
Vibrato type "Wilkinson" knife is great. It meets almost like a Floyd with a double advantage: ease of use. No more hardware and tool kit!. In addition it is very solid which promotes sustain.
SOUNDS
This scraper works well to metal in general. We know sounds very easily get saturated. The only catch is a slight loss of definition. I use a Marshall Valvestate 30w through a Korg multi-effects so I can get good sharp distos. Not bad at all for the small budget allocated. I plan to purchase soon Pod xt live which should allow me to amélirer my sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one month and I won. For 380.00 EUR net this guitar is stirring. But honestly my Ibanez + / - 300.00 euro more expensive less responsive to my needs. Not to mention my old Jackson (Jdr94 who is 10) is also more expensive that it happens even at the ankle level fishing!
In short, the price / quality ratio is amazing. This guitar is no doubt bear comparison with the model much more expensive option. In addition, it seems that investing a few hundred euros for pickups this guitar will really be on top.
To test urgently!
