Parker Fly and look ...
Mine is red varnish: we see the wood for transparency, aspect by far is the original form is often discussed (personal love), but prs guitar puts everyone in agreement : + red wood look is beautiful.
Book by tui rigid (plastic, of course) Designed specially for the beautiful. The tui includes all the hardware ncessaire rgler guitar (cls), cl closes and is fully equilibrated. There are sites for wiring, straps, batteries, rags ... and o Fast-Fret came back stack (coincidence?).
In short, CHARACTERISTICS impeccable. 10 hsitation without ... Despite the price.
UTILIZATION
Well, on the sleeve, touching the perfection Access in acute is unheard of, the handle is up to 2cm thick 24me cargo without any EXAGRES. This is the great advantage of a handle and a body in one pice.
It is enjoyable trs, the neck and fingerboard are covered with carbon and glass slide perfectly.
Point of view shape of the handle, it approaches a Ibanez (finesse, curve of the bridge), it is possible not apprcier is true that this race is wide enough that end trs .
As for the planimtrie, and droiteur the handle is irrprochable.
The frets are the same size as Gibson frets, thin enough so.
I did not need to rgler this guitar, it RULES factory and does not seem to move ... trs the action is low and constant. The neck is REALLY a highway.
Vibrato is enjoyable, well-calibrated the floyd ncessaire force the action too. The vibrato is fully lockable, it can also be activated in one direction, and in two senses. This action can not be made live like a Fender Jazzmaster, but you have to take the keys supplied with the machine and take 1 minute to drive a little mcanique. The Systm is really well thought out.
The weight can play for hours without getting tired feet at all.
For maintenance, least of all products, freight and the key carbon (coated glass) would not stand. The only possibility is clean water (wet cloth lgrement). We must therefore devote some time the guitar the end of each use to remove all traces of sweat, so as not to risk a dtrioration the handle.
Since I (3 years), freight and touch my guitar did not take the slightest trace of wear.
The table wears more by fingerprints as the key.
The Sperzel mcaniques fill out their rle trs: 30 Seconds to change a string, counting 10 seconds to get out the rope from the packaging ... The action is prcise ankles and effective. I have the game on one of my tuning pegs though. She also seems to wear a little faster ropes?
On knobs and switches, they are well positioned trs. The knobs are effective and prcis, the knob of tone that can go from simple humbucker is well thought out.
But the pageantry default Much of my guitar: the switches are not reliable.
Sometimes frquemment the switch of a microphone in the other rsulte ... no sound, or sound abnormally low. Each change is accompanied by a more grsillement. The best Manir switch will ensure that a property is to play hard for us to change ... impractical. More teacher, this same problem of the passage switch ESG simple double coil, and vice versa.
The opening of the cover (the rear) shows that this is not a priori problem of electronic ... but to switch. Speaking of electronics, the welds are clean, the cables to the maximum gains, the interior is painted over mtalise to shield the whole, in short it's clean.
In fact, it is possible to remdier this problem by twisting strips of lgrement mtal to ensure contact. But the problem comes tt or later and you have to redo the manip.
Few srieux for a guitar of this level together and this award.
Regarding the playing position, the weight helps find enjoyable standing position is really good with the straps and their orientation. The guitar is trs balance.
Sitting, the corner suprieur can enter the stomach ... some people find this guitar dsagrable sitting, despite the good investment in the hollow of the leg.
Note that the positioning of the straps to mount prevents straplocks "classic" Dunlop on guitar: to ensure the strap, it is necessary to use straps with Straplock included, such as Designed by Planet-Waves.
Only 8 for the (only) problem with the switches, but with a guitar like one is obliged to be demanding, and obviously the choice of a t switches bacl ... it's a shame.
edit: Note also that after several years I have found small traces of corrosion on the bridge, as well as screws knobs (the coup, one of my knobs is loose). It does not seem to be more serious than a, but rather pnible maintenance.
SOUNDS
This guitar is not that of ergonomics is also a great sound.
When empty, the scratching sounds. Each note is distinct, prcise, round, no freeze with strings of good quality. A rgal. The sustain is important dja trs.
We start with the piezo. Dja good, has a piezo remains: it is not with ropes and pulling of the guitar-shaped wood that imitate the sound of folk. It must however be noted that the piezo sounds great, and the balance of acute overdose Manir crdible done everything. Its volume is very well adjusted compared to Seymour, the mix between the two signals work well and can make any sound made INTERESTED, including use of jazz. used with distortion and especially an amp that supports it, it can make original sounds. Warning, if the battery is not in his youth Premire, its volume can vary, which is pluttgnant.
We go to Seymour & Duncan:
- In the bridge: the Seymour Duncan JB & is known to be a screamer. His is by no reputable usurps ... This is the passive micro rock rv flanked at least in this guitar.
In single coil, and clear, it is a little anecdote: it's a typical country trs, trs nasal. However, the Tone knob lets give it some blues sounding. Coupled a distortion, it's velvet attacks extremely prcises, brightness, shades, a twang, everything is there.
Double coil is immediately heavier: a real nice blues sound, warm wishes, changed the tone wanted with the knob. The output level is plutt lev and a micro possde trslger grain. A distortion is velvet ... trs spend much treble, all harmonics are Submitted, tufts doing well. Rendering, and especially prsence the brilliance of this micro really apprciables, particulirement in the treble that are really its scope.
- In the neck: the Seymour Duncan Jazz &.
In single coil, and clear the attacks are beautiful, crisp and prcises trs. It was a bit like finding the sound of a stratum, the same precision, a bit less but really slamming round. Once again, the Tone knob allows you to really "shaper" his sound with precision. Submitted are the serious trs. A distortion of this returns a micro trs his brilliant attacks trs free, dynamic super ... Impressive.
Double coil, the sound goes a prsence impressive in the bass. The attacks are prcises. The sound is really warm and prcis trs, and the output level is plutt important. The micro retains its dynamic surcrot. A small effect on the tone knob and moving from a bright sound, and prcis nanmoins trs smooth warm sound, almost jazz typ. A distal branch of the configuration restores one's a little tuft at the grave, but warm trs. Tuft involved the power of the grave is spectacular. A lamp is really a distortion rgal heat and power.
The shuffled between the two microphones is the height of the microphones alone: in the high gloss, heat in the mediums, dynamic, precision, grain output level lev in humbucker, single coil in the scathing attacks, roundness of her ... Everything is there. Whether or distortion clean sound, this sound is like no other. It is very modern, but without being strotyp. Impeccable.
We can only regret that each microphone is not adjustable volume indpendament, which would have a better mix shuffled between brightness in the treble and round, depending on the types DSIR. But to some extent, the mix with the piezo compensates for this lack.
Speaking of sustain ... Whereas it is.
Ultimately, the most versatile guitar I've ever seen ... Between the piezo that restores one's pseudo-acoustic INTERESTED, micro neck can sound out the most smooth-jazz possible before the enchantment of a funky good slamming into action knob, the micro bridge that ranges from country blues to the good fats, distos hot and / or chattering, all shades are possible.
OK we will not enter into the vintage, but you can really play anything you like on this guitar.
10/10 for sound without any doubt.
A note however: given as the lgret and brilliance of the guitar, it will not forgive any default in your game can be the "mute" instantanment, to prolong the bends "indfiniment" but also to rot your solo with any dirt in your game is truly a guitar trs demanding prvenu be provided.
OVERALL OPINION
In the end, for me it's a bit the ultimate weapon of the guitarist who wants to play some prs all without needing a rack of guitars.
Whatever the registry, this guitar is comfortable ... vintage blues to funk, to jazz, mtal, everything passes, and with honors. I really redcouvert my amp with it.
Its jouabilit is immense.
Its look is really excellent and original, prs guitar has an aspect irrprochable.
Purchased during the 2300 dstockage a store in Bordeaux ... At this level of quality (violin, sound, jouabilit), hard to beat in 2007.
The only default is so big at the switches, which is a shame given the quality of both together ...
10/10 However, I am unable to rsoudre 9 with such a jewel tone.
It is clear that with the exprience I would do this election ... least point me to a guitar really "type" (they all are it seems .. ct)
