LTD Viper-100FM

Everything is there

The whole gives an impression of quality, the finish is pretty neat, but good will of course do with age (I did that for two weeks).

UTILIZATION

-The handle: very nice and quick, rather wide and round, so it might not appeal to Ibanezeux.
-Access to acute: as on all guitars as they are exellent SG, you can access without any problem with the last boxes of the neck (except possibly celes my low E string but hey let's not quibble)
-Weight: guitar quite heavy, unless of course lespaul heavy but still, a good place for her but you'll have your back muscles.
-Ergonomics: sitting (not CLAA) Nothing to say very comfortable but given the weight the guitar has a tendency to cut your leg in half, but once again I quibble
Standing, it has an SG case: the balance is more than average and it's pretty whine: I have to the ballast for what does not sting the nose which adds even more.

So for the balance problem I put 8 / 10, the rest = all good!

SOUNDS

Aahh you get to the good Cathegory!

Fast forward to the clear sound without being exeptional but is good enough.
Moton pe a saturation to get to the crunch sounds and you begin to understand why this guitar is made: the big sound!
Distortion in the two double humbuckers quil feel what his property were in the womb: the sound is powerful, precise well balanced, short, a wonder!

Level versatility, the selector 3 position (1,2,1 2) and the few available settings (no microphones and split) suggest the worst, but playing well and the tone knob you can really get a wide range of sounds .

In short if you want a big sound very sharp (metal or rock) is the top and as I do I put a well deserved 10/10.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? 2 weeks of happiness
- What is so special that you like most and least? SOUND / / balance
- With experience, you do again this choice? ... we'll see when lexperience java.

To sum up a guitar to sound terrible, and look beautiful (in my gur)
If you're used forms SG and if the lack of balance when standing do not pose a problem, go for it!

-24 Frets, 2 humbuckers
-2 Pots (volume and tonal and micro slecteur 3 positions

UTILIZATION

Round-neck may be more for those Dranga jou as habitus or some of Ibanez Peavey (c my case)
Access in acute-l is very simple, as with any guitar SG shape
For the weight-cons, take courses muscu.En Indeed, inconvnient this guitar is its weight and the fact that pitches down constantly, but hey APRS two months of intensive use is get used!
In terms of form on the other hand, it is really beautiful !!!!! Finally my taste

SOUNDS

-Playing mainly rock and punk, this guitar suits me perfectly in terms of its
-I play on an amp and AX10G ELKA: marriage is perfect
-In terms of its clear, I think the sound is really good and playing with pots and slecteur, I think everyone can find something to noise.
However, it becomes really powerful when pushing the sound and that we pass on a distortion. Indeed it has a trs his INTERESTED from which to punk rock jou ....

OVERALL OPINION

"I used to use for 2 months but they are 2 months of pure happiness
-The report is qualitprix trs good (I bought 400 euros)
-I have not enough exprience to tell you if I Rasht, but in the IMMEDIATE n'hsiterais I certainly

OVERALL OPINION

Playing with 6 months in a metal core band, I can only be satisfied by the thing. In fact the sound is really interresting trs for the price, but deprecated for fans of flamenco, lol, not indeed, this guitar is versatile trs but is extremely Reserved (and advice) for lovers of big big sound! The clean sound is ok, but the distortion! What about a hand that sent ca! I use a Boss ME 50 multi-effects branch of a Marshall 100 DFX, and I'm really satisfied with the rsultat. In addition, if you wall forms two EMG 81 and 85, c the pure joy (even if the pickups are original dj esp good though), and even agreeing with a few shades below (this is my case), no loss, the handle is certainly a little thick but enjoyable trs, the finish is correct (at the same time, 400, we do not have low prestige Ibanez), CHAC to treble is perfect, the style is really my taste, one little problem: his weight in short, a little jewelry for only 400. APRS, the Yamaha Pacifica, here SERIES Viper guitars trs qualitprix good report.

Asian manufacturing
Channel 24 frets rosewood Saddle +
2 micros ESP
Tune-O-Matic
1 Volume 1 Ring Slecteur 3 positions
Agathis body with table Saddle Flamm

UTILIZATION

Channel width: trs comfortable playing, but not rev fast (I guess that has come when I have the habit). CHAC is the acute incredible ease and is promising for TRS soloists crazy (which I do not use).

For cons, the point ngatif if any of this guitar is not its weight (it's not worse than a bass), but its balance. She slumps ds that is no longer the handle, and I urge users to have greater confidence in the eyelet of strap if he does not want to end up with a viper on feet.
However, aesthetics and quality of finish that dsagrment excuse.

Warning: big sound. This guitar is made, you can imagine, for the big rock, metal, death metal, thrash ... more than for the bossa nova.

SOUNDS

Obviously, for the metal (thrash, death, black ...), this guitar suits me perfectly. It is the same size for. It is therefore perfectly with my complmentaire Lag Rockline, which itself is much more rock, and am using for my clean sounds.
Ohhhh! the beautiful transition, for indeed, the V100 is not for clean sounds, and then quickly made two-riff.
Saturated sounds, with cons, have a power instantanment palpable, but there is a faster loss in gross mdiums (which does not m'inquite since I expect to receive Seymour that I SH6 'I command. Large rhythm of clarity is impressive despite microphones "SERIES of" cuts are the net, and sustain good enough. Evolution do with the new pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

Rcent purchase all the APRS trying MODEL 400 (team of EMG81) and have will appreciate the place. N'tant not looking for active pickups (I prfre the SH6 for my fawn to play: its a bit more bold, more dirty ... LORD dbat Vs EMG81 SH6), j have tried it and opt for MODEL.

For the price (374 Euros), the finish is truly exceptional (only wood used for the Difference MODELS suprieurs), and sounds more than acceptable. This guitar is your exact long months of prospecting, and it is one that, for me, the best qualitprix given what I was looking for. I notament compares the Cort Katana, Yamaha ES620, diffrent BC-Rich ...

For me, the only question is this ngatif balance (see if it persists with a strap adapted), and it is quite drisoire given all the qualities that Submitted MODEL (all proportion Warning: even when a guitar is 400 Euros, not a luxury).
So trs positive balance.
Addition: APRS implementation of SH6: the standard, regardless of the position of slecteur. It really is exceptional value (guitar + 2 SH6: 500 Euros) and I have exactly the guitar I wanted. As for the problem of balance, the use of a leather strap 80mm has compltement rsolu.
