Excellent
Guitar made in Indonesia, wood Agathis, Bolt 4 points - 24 frets, 2 ESP LH100 Humbuckers type microphones, Tune O Matic Bridge type, two potentiometers Volume / tone, 3-position switch.
The handle is in C, thin but wide enough, the nut is slightly thicker at the Mi Re, which facilitates the tuning down. The mechanical bath oils are Gotoh style and do not move.
The violin is finished for a guitar in this price range, I liked the handle painted the tune O matic rather clumsy, logos ESP reproduced everywhere, lacquer mirror finish, the stainless steel knobs. Plastics are against poor quality of even at the jack is plastic, therefore provide a replacement in a while. The price / quality ratio is good.
UTILIZATION
The handle: the frets are jumbos very thick. I had a hard time getting used to a good grip is needed if we play speed (24 hurdles to cross lol) by the thickness of the frets against calls for tapping solos, pulling off ... Access to acute is correct, a slight cut at the base of the handle and an asymmetrical plate facilitates access to the latest boxes.
SG asymmetrical shape makes the game, the game is nice sitting it does not fit in the ratings, by standing it in play against slumps and arm fatigue, if you move the strap lock on the tip of the dorsal horn the problem is set. This guitar is light but the weight is unevenly distributed: while on the handle.
Sound: played unplugged it sounds, it has good sustain, it's usually a good sign. Connected, we feel that the scratches are underfoot and is tailored for the heavy.
SOUNDS
My favorite style is hardcore punk, she should quite the Satus are very good regardless of the pickup, the tone knob plays his role very well unlike other guitars even high end. Plugged directly into the Peavey Bandit 112 is at once the big sound, coupled with my pedal Marshall Shred Master, it's dementia, the sound is flawless and really do not run out of steam, it is sharp and accurate, the followers of down tuning will be satisfied because the microphones do not go on rough when we increase the bass, the bridge pickup is a real treat for solos. While it is not the EMG, but the ESP microphones are very good, which is extremely good surprise for a guitar in this range.
The clean sounds are not its strong point would be very low, but what good is his destiny? The microphone provides serious sounds correct in the clear as long we play on the tone knob is sufficient for a break or an intro from a few seconds
Splitter microphones allow a lower cost to expand the sonic palette.
The Viper is perfect, the big rock n roll to the metal. Lovers of jazz, blues, pop rock .... pass their way. This is not a versatile guitar, only lovers will rave Satus furious! So ...
OVERALL OPINION
I needed a guitar study and was looking for a very big sound, this guitar has crossed my path and I am very satisfied. I tried other guitars including a bit more expensive but did not have all the qualities of the viper for ~ € 250.
In addition the level of his very correct violin provides a cell for a project excelente personal to upgrade (ps locker big enough to add knobs).
She looks from hell, which does not leave indifferent and that changes the simple copy of SG. It's a choice I would do without hesitation. However it is a guitar that I would not advise anyone as it is typed and is cut to a single objective: the heavy artillery.
Guitar sold, so after almost two years of very intensive use, if one has been careful and has very neat shock. the varnish has held a few scratches but not too much, I was surprised, either the back or the blows of picks, a little bit of polish and completely disappeared. on the other hand, it has tended to disrupt most of the end (the mechanical tension lose) but hey do not forget it's a shovel € 250. However it easily cashed the strong ties: 11/52 in standard tuning, the handle did not move. I am still amazed by these capabilities. The only changes from the original were: the shielding of the cavities (cages and micro electronics) with magnetic paint and changing the wiring (cables better, thermo and a new polypropylene capacitor type), and finally the switch and jack. So with a few euros and a little elbow grease, its capabilities have really been reaffirmed. The pickups were so clearly a better response. As against the hardware seemed to be in an unknown alloy (a copper-colored ... um) may be someone knows more? Some details embarrassed me in time, a key aspect is really tired and wrinkled in a relatively short time, the shield of the electronic curled serious, I had to resize a thicker (but the investment was low). I feared for a moment the nut but it held up perfectly. So a small shovel, perfect for beginners or as in the heavy scratches study ...
