Model XR-DX-3KCA Made in Japan (produced from 1987 to 1989, the first digit of the serial number must match the last digit of the year: 7 per 1987 for example)
22 frets, S / S / H (5.5 kOhms for simple and 8kOhms for 4 Humbucker)
bridge: Khale Flyer United States, blocking the top ropes
Volume, Tone switch for the humbucker (to pass from one to two)
Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with "shark teeth"
UTILIZATION
Channel pleasant, classic profile in C
Access to acute right
Weight: very heavy, multi-body (plywood in English) to say the plywood!
(This is not really a problem because the tailpiece is not through, the Khala corresponding to a vibrato screwed onto the body directly incorporating a spring)
SOUNDS
Given the shape and configuration, it is rather a typical guitar Hard rock, Metal!
On a multi-effect, it gives a very correct, but the humbucker is limited: simple position the sound is low, lower than the simple two position handle and plant.
Better to change it and put a Humbucker most powerful kind of 6-12 kOhm (on my Aria jackson splittable microphone was mounted) Also the pickups were changed simply by Jackson single coil: the sound is now more on edge all positions
OVERALL OPINION
Bought on Ebay recently rediscovered a model of twenty years of age! as vibrato Khale really nice ropes with locking in mind to take the agreement!
The least: the humbucker but easily replaceable.
This guitar has very good action, comparable to the fender or gibson. To start or nostalgic (like me) it's a great shot in time (much better than the Squier Stratocaster or other copies of Chinese, Korean or even Mexican)
I recommend this model without hesitation
