This is the famous Viper GPS Samick KR564-of "Alternative Series" made in Korea, produced 1500 copies with 3 DIFFERENT graphic designs.

Alder body, handle key rosewood Saddle flam.
As for the body, It is not just a drawing on it, the table is carved and some parliaments are vitrified.
It therefore REPRESENTATIVES CRNE out which two serpents.

The handle is therefore 24 cases, XJ frets Dunlop, with back-tooth shark.

Hlas as it was one of dernires produced in this SERIES, Samick not amount plus original floyd rose so it's a licensed floyd which is mounted on it.

I put a Seymour Duncan-2B PATB ct bridge instead of the original one that seemed to be an unmarked Seymour Duncan Seymour Duncan SSL3 in the neck position, I will replace it with the SHR- 1N hot rails (Originally, it is an ESP SH-100 is hot rails in neck position), and the original microphone (not identified in the middle.
Slecteur 5 positions, 1 volume 2 tone.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin, fast, without a hitch, a sliding alone.
Access in acute is excellent. I find it even more enjoyable than the ibanez sleeves to say!

The body is as enjoyable inspired strats in the bends. The guitar is lgre, although equilibrium for a game standing as sitting.

Only complaint:
The volume knob is too moves away (in rear), which increases the time to CASC it to mute the times. And the race of the same knob is my opinion far too long.

The licensed floyd is said that not too bad although he did take the trouble tonal high E string (this is a good small) and I did not seek more information since I plan to replace it with an Original Floyd Rose.

Aside from these small dtails, say anything, it's a no-fault.

SOUNDS

I use it to DIFFERENT styles. Whether for riffs or solos and powerful prcis of mtal or sounds more crunchy and slimy to the cold-wave. I use a Hughes & Kettner Attax head tower and studio reverb rpt on a Marshall JCM 800 through a Digitech RP-12. For distortion, I use either the distortion of the amp, a distortion is exceptionally Nobels DT-XN (Xtreme Distortion).
I also test on Fender and Ampeg amp and it retains its own personality anyway, which is a good sign.

In terms of its sound many high-medium and treble sound slamming.
The clean sounds are clean and crystalline, with a frank attack trs.

With the micro serious, we get the perfect sound for rhythmic pchues, somewhat in the style of strats. It is not the IDAL for the Jazz, and at the same time, it is not his vocation.

The sounds are all the same one used for high s'avrer blues.

The crunch sounds are attractive trs

On bridge pickup, the sound is prcis, does not bleed with acute sharp and powerful.
Micro serious, we get a dirty sound that can be desired, much crmeux. The positions intermdiaires possible to obtain velvety sound, and playing with the tone knobs, you can join the madness hearing Hendrixienne! Yum!

Trs good balance of sound. Trs close to Jackson and Charvel to give you an ides.

Harmonics, both natural and whistle, are easy to obtain

This guitar is a rgal for solos and shredding.

This is a guitar type trs, so little versatility. It has a specially and fills it perfectly. It can be used in other rock-oriented style, but you can forget the Jazz with.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now then 8 years.
I love the handle, the sound, ergonomics.
What I like least? I see it! May be its lack of versatility, but it is not a default type since it is for sounds slammin. Criticized as a good mcanicien not be a good analyst programmer.
I tried a lot of Ibanez, Jackson, Charvel, before falling on it for me poustoufl Samick.

Purchased approximately 550 in 1998, it is now 600 ct. If Samick guitar was just this bill, if a reputable bad they would not be imposed.

If I had the choice again, without hsiter, I start with eyes closed.
However, APRS several years prfrant sounds more round, I'll end up wanting to spare.
