UTILIZATION
Characteristics in practice what happens?
> The handle is thick like a Les Paul in less round, broader. Grip
> Access to acute is good
> The weight is quite large but divided
> The mechanics are very good, very precise and progressive
> Impeccable build quality, all seem "tough"
> The pickups are classics-best seller, you can play with any
> Split pickups enhances versatility
SOUNDS
Violin making you the tone, like "Les Paul": mahogany body and maple neck
Thanks to the violin high quality of this guitar, we have two Seymour Duncan 100% (or almost) of their potential. These microphones are also incorporated throughout the series BlackJack brand.
The neck pickup SH1n '59
Microjazz very soft, thick, musical. Powerful and plump with low saturation.
Once split, it becomes fendérien: very thin, low output level, but loses its heat and a "content", can be made a surprising (and pleasant) by combining some effects (whammy, especially harmonizer)
The bridge pickup SH-4 JB the
Versatile, easy harmonics, basses sometimes imprecise, high output: it saturates easily.
Once split, blah. Funny at first but you realize quickly that we must all adjust EQ of the amp for power and accuracy.
A lot of punch crunch, its clear nothing special, it "shrinks".
Its strengths are found in parts so saturated and lead all crunch and overdrive sounds.
OVERALL OPINION
I find the look of this guitar very attractive, modern mid (the strings that traverse the body, Seymour Duncan, buttons tone / volume) and half vintage (the liserai cream, pickguard, the massive). This is great and I like ESP LP!
The high price is due to the build quality, accessories "safe bets" that make it up (Grover, Tonepro bridge, micro SD).
Important for weight (as much as a Gibson LP), a wide strap will service I have also added a reinforcement (Planet Waves) to relieve the back story to the fullest.
I recently changed the bridge pickup to a Gibson 498T microphone, this one has a better balance, especially in the bass. It saturate my amp in a better way: the more natural I want to say, less modern, too. The splitage of this one is better than the SH-4, much more usable.
