SG-Shaped Guitar from ESP belonging to the Viper series

Value For Money : Excellent
For CHARACTERISTICS, t aadj Describes.

I just took care of replacing an EMG 81 (one of the handle) by 85, to get clean sounds warmer. And it should trs well. Because I find it a bit to have two microphones dbile identical (so much for the principle but especially for the sound!)

So for this drle IDE to two EMG 81, I would not put a note too high. To believe that people who scratched the achtent not know the clear sound. I&#39;m a nag, but I nonetheless a fan of clean sounds. And especially if the scratches can be coping well ... This is the case.

The seller told me, if I recall, the wood silent Japanese. Of mahogany in this case. The main diffrence between that and ESP LTD, me he says is better than wood aging.

SERIES good and then this is no longer, so it&#39;s a kind of collector ...

This guitar is weird, it looks qu&#39;edlle is plastic, it is the painting that did it, the varnish or I do not know too much, but it&#39;s fun. It is nevertheless super fragile (I had the misfortune of offending a small blow against my wall, I can tell you that I still bite your fingers. Well it&#39;s a bit like r con action, since the sound has not changed but the price I paid o is stronger than me to be angry with me ...). It is a body, the handle does not look screwed (I will not go vrifier not eh ...)

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable?

Uh yeah! Although compact, totally DIFFERENT from what I had until the (Ibanez, who has more 7-string). Trs and enjoyable enough to that, nine months aprsy jou have almost every day, I take it in hand today and I always smile (besides the fact that I love her sound).

CHAC is enjoyable to acute, but personally, I&#39;m not a shreddeur, so I can not say too much more.

For usability, it&#39;s a very enjoyable guitar. J&#39;adoooore the handle! on the other hand when standing, I find the head too far, and it tends to fall. You get used to it sr it&#39;s not like the scratch of the head which is Dimebag Precipitation Occurred to the ground, but it&#39;s still a default. At least for me.

To get a nice sound, do not worry saturated (for some have a minimum of gear even when). For clean sounds, I recommend replacing the microphone handle 85 to get clean sounds warmer and less brutal to the ear. The EMG 81 is not too much evidence for that. For a time against the change fact, we can say that it&#39;s beautiful.

For the saturated I use the 81, which does its job perfectly, and for clean sounds and crunchy, I use the 85 (or so the combined 81/85)

SOUNDS

For my style of music, o prdomine distortion and it sounds evil should trs well. This scratching my flat so that the blow I play all the time, and so I am amlior And it should not ngliger so lucky. I spent much less time on my guitar before ... And I had a social life ...

When I tried it in the store, originally j&#39;tais retracted to buy me one around 700-800 euros. And I see and I ask to test. I pass the test guitars APRS twelve o&#39;clock (you know the neighborhood of Pigalle prs o there is only music stores), and I found nothing that transcends me Specific rately. And when I tried it on the peavey Bandit, a basic amp I am tempted to say, I was hooked. While it certainly silent a little double what I prvu, but in the end, I&#39;m crazy mad for this guitar, so I do not regret to have put the price. As against the guy who post the notice below me and who pay 2000 euros, I said DAMAGE! Because I have paid 1500.

For sounds that you get, I think it starts to become a quality INTERESTED ... I love this guitar ... The records I make are of a sacred mountain notch (besides the fact I qe matrise also better software), is not to say, everything is more prcis and more powerful. EMG is not that there are for something.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it almost every day since I bought it, or nine months.

The particular feature I like most:

well the sr
comfort. I still enjoy playing with. The handle is just right pais, and the keys, finally I know, all this myself flat lot.

The particular feature I like least:

Face. I&#39;m not a big fan of his face. But I &#39;in a little crazy, it&#39;s just history to tell. Whether the form such as painting, I&#39;m not transcend. It&#39;s funny, she has a style that few others have, but since not my c&#39;tait CRITERIA any fawn, I do not care a bit.

The head is a bit far I think, forcing the wrist to bend a little more. Finally I found. And especially the head falls a little (I mean a little), but hey it is not comparable sr Washburn or a BC Rich (which in any fawn can not bear comparison with the scratch).

I tried lots of little MODELS prs at same price level (LTD, Jackson, Dean, Ibanez ...) before trying it and I tried the home of APRS friends have bought, is not to say, this one for me as always. Okay I have no love life, but at least I have a scratch that I love lol!

Report quality price: 1500 euros (new) beginners we start reaching the high end, well then I guess not what it might be the high end! I am not prs to invest in new, because it s me. Unless you have an opportunity to really dchire all, I do not achter news before a long time. It is well worth the 1500 euros.

For 2000 euros, I have no comparison with other models that price, so I prfre not tell you I Achter de 2000 euros all fawn, knowing that there must be even better quality of MODELS 2000 euros. To you to decide.

With exprience, it is obvious that I do it again this election, despite things I can blame him, it suits me well trs. Now I am no longer has that of my free time! Note that a fucks bad because normally I&#39;m singing ...
