Audience: Beginners
Original guitar amricaine with fixed bridge.

Locking Tuners very very practical and very specific on. It is better than on my old guitar Floyd Rose!

22 frets, pickups PRS SC250 (I do not know The characteristics accurate)

2 volume, 2 tone, 3 position slecteur between Jack (fixed with 4 screws so do not move like on most guitars)

Regrettably a small push-pull to give more versatility to the sound ... I put 8 for a

UTILIZATION

The handle is wide enough (get used), but very comfortable (much better than Gibon).

The ergonomics are better than Gibson: the highs are more accessible

It's amazing what this guitar has under the hood! It is really versatile and will fit any amp but the ideal is to plug it into a Mesa Boogie of course. I play on a Marshall TSL100 head (in BPS) and a roland microcube (for apartment): its good on both amps while keeping the grain caractristique PRS.


SOUNDS

Sound really suits my style of music. I'm pretty versatile blues, old rock and modern rock and even a few riffs of metal, she follows me everywhere!

In clean:

- In bridge pickup: OK, nothing transcendent.
- In the intermediate-position, we will add easily a small chorus pedal for rhythm but it sounds kind reconnatl Nickelback, Hoobastank, Alter Bridge, etc.. If you go up the gain of the amplifier can be easily cruncher sound and give warmth to the blues solos typs.
- In the neck pickup: lots of heat, very good for blues and jazz!

Basically, not looking for a Fender clean sound. It is not for a while but still compelling despite (less slobbery Gibson Fender but less specific on that).

In distortion:

It is that the beast we turned the stomach! Since I play, I've never had so much fun on an instrument (a PRS Modern Eagle may be ...). Yet I've tried Fender Gibson through Music Man and Jackson, ... We have a unique grain: it's warm, honeyed but remains specific on with any type of game
Harmonics out of themselves, the volume buttons are highly specific on (be careful, we are quickly surprised), she sought not proportionally attack mdiator ... This is not a guitar made for beginners: a guitar which responds both sound very bad if we do not mastery.

For the receiver:

Prcdemment as nuncio, I play on a Marshall TSL 100 head with 4x12 Vintage 30 speaker. It sounds very good but it would be better on a Mesa Rectifier. I DLIR then on the simulation of roland microcube in Mesa apartment lol. Despite everything, makes it much better than my old Gibson Les Paul.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months now and discovers every day. I think she still surprises me!

What I love most: the sound distortion, the quality of manufacture (to the owners of Gibson cry lol), the locking tuners, versatility

What I like least: the clean lacks a bit of "charm", the new price weight
