J.Yves « Radioactivity under the fingers !!!!! »
Published on 06/19/10 at 05:22This guitar is made in Czech republic in the old shop custom shop Gibson .. The body is solid alder and flamed maple top AAA quality, as this demonstrates that input we have to do a great guitar ..
The handle by itself is a gas plant, it has a slight V profile offset along its length. The key, all in favor of enhanced rigidity, is carved from ebony, as it is a long tune that spans
648 mm, and it has 24 frets. With a fairly flat radius, the handle end delight large numbers of guitarist and whatever the style of play ..
Vibrato patented by Schaller Floyd Rose, well embedded in the body of the instrument is perfect and above all do not mind the palm of his right hand. Question required the agreement is a solid block with a nut-strings plus mechanical Schaller mini-rolls wraps (takes some getting used) is not afraid to splurge with the vibrato arm.
This guitar is equipped with 2 single-coils and a humbucker EMG EMG SLV-85. The 2 simple produce a clean sound out of stamps
phase intermediate positions of the selector, refined enough typed and quality without reproach. Both mics also generate
of dynamic crunch and distortion generous. They are totally versatile for the studio musician who has to cover all styles .. It's less obvious to the jazz sounds sweet and cozy, albeit with good adjustment on the tone plus a good équalo the amp is reached good results .. on the other hand in the area of hard, dual-coil located near the bridge is a treat both in quality of grain as harmonic singing .. in two words it kills serious ..
UTILIZATION
As said above the neck is a great comfort, it reminds me very much that of a Music Man "Luke" .. Besides Tommy Ask confess without being inspired .. The guitar is heavy (solid wood requires) but is well balanced, and chamfers allow the body to properly marry the instrument plays lorqu'on seated among other ..
To return to the race I said that access to acute is a facility rarely seen on a guitar, it's a real pleasure ..
SOUNDS
Sound ..... ah the sound ......
I play mostly with virtual amps (requires large displacement), GTR3, th1, Revalver mk3, guitar rig 4, I and others almost all the boards, and I must say that sound is a remarkable qualitée ..
sounds are clear and precise grain is slammed while being highly crystalline, not need tons of effects ..
But the surprise is the humbucker, I can get a full and accurate grain .. You can flatten a barre chord in disto having all detached notes, is admirable ..
Harmonics sing and you will find virtues unknown to date ..
OVERALL OPINION
J'ultilise this guitar for over a week to this day, I ordered it in Germany on a website (not the one we all know) another ..
I own lots of guitars and not the least and the more I get to travel and therefore to browse a large number of music stores, which allows me to try many instruments and I admit that this guitar is a great revelation for me ..
In comparison and for an instrument of equal quality in the concurence it takes easily twice the price and even that ....
The manufacturing quality is to go and for a price of approximately EUR 1400 average price recorded so far I guarantee you a high class guitar ..
I do it again without hesitation that choice and besides I'll interest me closer to that mark ..
Thank you to Tommy and VGS ..
PS: I emailed the VGS team a few months ago to get info and they have always responded in time more than fast ..
I will complete my review in a few weeks with a little more information more ..
