UTILIZATION

The handle is nikel a motorway, ideal for the solo. We can shred without problem. The access to acute is easy, no problem cutting through the body.
IT is true that ergonomics therm this guitar is great. It is not too heavy and it is comfortable when we play with. It's not a Les Paul ...
Her look is not bad. A well cut PRS. A pretty face for the metal, but not only ...

HIGHLIGHT: We can strive vibrato, it does not move a hair.
LOW POINT: To select the position of the microphones should be turned with a Knob scale of 0 to 10 unnecessary, just for decoration. A little boring to know exactly what mic you play, especially if it changes often, but not a problem for me.

SOUNDS

I play mostly metal, but we can all do with. From blues to metal to rock, funk. This guitar provides serious. It depends on what you want to do. It is versatile.

In the neck position sound is very round, warm, but perhaps not quite to my taste. It sounds sort of fine bluesy, very comfortable in this style. In intermediate positions, that funk groove that it provides. And she has good sharp, perfect for the solo.

But to me his strong point, the big sound it out in the bridge position for very heavy styles (rock, metal mostly), micro positron FHS easel ensures max. He has a good offense and a good presence, good bass. It can even enchainer heavy metal riffs, it comes out heads held high. Good riffs to Metallica or Iron Maiden does not frighten him. But not ideal for the death. (It's not an ESP or Jackson ... to try with EMG 81)

Personally I play neo metal, it is that it provides. I used it with a Line 6 spider 2 head. The sound was good but denaturalized (modeling requires). Now I plug in a ENGL Powerball. And here is the slap in each agreement. Great sound PRS supercharged by ENGL.
Before buying it I tried SG, Ibanez, Jackson, and when I tried, I was bluffing because it emanated from the others. Clean sound is beautiful, she has the body.
It may lack some personality. It does not sound like a typed Lespaul or Telecaster. A modern sound, but its PRS to sound differently according to the amps
Simply perfect or almost ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year now.
-What I like almost everything.
-What I do not ... Internet is not over.
-As I said, I tried several before this one and there was always something I did not like the others.
-Suitable for all styles, but it is better to try it, like anything else. Everybody does not apreciate.
-The price / quality ratio is especially interesting for the quality and also for the flight case that is not given. I buy 1500 euros, for this price especially in PRS is not crazy to look at our mouth Gisbon for example, in the same price range does not necessarily equal quality.
- Of course I would do without hesitation that choice even if I would have liked a Singlecut but too expensive.
