Blade RH-4

Swiss-made, and yes it not nya that mechanical watches Sperzel locking self, ash body, maple neck "hard" ebony bridge "blade falcon" not detune when the stem is pulled in both directions "c good violin "I was looking for a versatile guitar sound, well I made the right choice, it can be passive and active (preamp boost that does its job properly in one click), impeccable polish sold with a fly box
only downside: not many dealers in northern France, at least in 2010 and not exactly perfect for the time that does not correspond to court I moved myself is get the guitar in a pseudo provider is in of France, with two defects on the picguard (90 € unit anyway) replaced without difficulty by the manufacturer and delivered to me by carrier guitar !!! as when we know what the people responsible in blade there is no pb

UTILIZATION

it is true that the weight compared to a strat is not the same but it must be said that the swamp ash is not the same either Access in acute RAS 22frettes a nice handle (do not glue)

SOUNDS

depending on the settings of VSC3 it can have different sounds, bluesy rock and funky, jazzy
q what I have in gear Peavy classic tweed 30w lamp with UN Marchal MG 100DFX COMBO? 1 and 2 glab GSC2 twelve o'clock looper g lab; 1 POD X3 countless effects pedals (boss and tc elect) of the classic 70's jmc (very good French brand) to fuzz "gilmourien" sounds and Hendrix 'd; boost and pedalboards manufactured home, and you have the panoply OF GILMOUR- LED ZEP -Santana- rollings stones ETC ...... the views of this presentation you guess my age !!!

OVERALL OPINION

I think I'll keep it's a very very good guitar equivalently well worth a Gibson LP and a strat the 60th anniversary (this guitar is worth a whopping € 2,300 to € 2,500 to date !!!)

Swiss
a falcon vibrato that I do not use but that takes a lot Agreement
handle such strat 70
1 Hum two single coil
volume
a knob 5 positions
tonalite more push pull to split the Hum
a top 3 position system VSC3 active medium passive active low
of mechanical blocking
a graphite nut

UTILIZATION

the handle is very much a incroble quality varnish which seems not AGING except a slightly more golden appearance than the original.
It is balanced fairly heavy probably the quality of the wood ...
sounds great versatility .. not of metal but goes everywhere very well

was not the strat sounds with simple sensors mounted lace which is different from the original sound of a Strat has 3 single .... this requires a more texas ...

SOUNDS

for crystal clear sound with a killer 3 vsc well settled a little EQ and compression.

it's very different identity from my Ibanez amp 620 Qm on lamp but like any guitars on analog ... but it is versatility .. "Huge"

double hum lacks a bit of gain and grain actually ... ca would deserve an upgrade with a tone zone for example ... for a modern sound that will stick well as the split puss sweater.

otherwise it is anyway on top of the basket because everything is eqsuilibré and very defined.

OVERALL OPINION

3 years
yes strats of ibanez gibson vigier line6 and that's when you see that this guitar is a premium has not compare with anything ... the new price of the guitar remind you.

I remake that choice because I had a super good price given its status ... like new!

like my Vigier is the kind of instrument which I separate myself ever ... because it is super nice (purple and misty mirror plate).

See Opinion of heinous Fonzy, I can not agree more.
mine is that the picture is pretty trs, we see the veins of frne, varnish slide
Well, I got it on ebay, customs and my friends have not really dry stores, and balalanc the package (the mail is TFW) as s ch .... as I have not rcupre RULES, and with a micro pet on the varnish has the rear.
the graphite nut n'tait not much nickel lim for a guitar of this level I trouve.richard Baudry, Remde is excellent luthier and it's actually a good system of nut

UTILIZATION

Access in acute trs is good.
the handle is the highlight, trs prcis, nice touch in the bne is fast, and responds better than my other guitars for the tapping and other modern techniques, the boxes are large, it is a guitar for the game lead.l think ergonomics is that of a stratum, is a comfortable suite, with a handle a little flatter, and easier jouer.j 've perso "d tense "vibrato too hard my taste, you can get by against the notes (not up!) energy, and does not move! great, because it is very easy to change the strings (not like a floyd)
weight issue, I bought it on ebay to United States, and I t surprised! frne the apse! it's not a les paul, but still it is heavier than the strats being sold ... this guitar was well in hand and is easy to play, I drang at t beginners because with a floyd or tuneomatic my right hand rested naturally to mute the strings, it is the least enjoyable, but I got used to it ...
Sperzel locking the mcaniques are highly recommended, walk a nickel!
then the sound: first it sounds dja trs fort empty branch when the pickups are quiet and trs trs prcis with a high output level, and they all three well-balance, no difference in volume between low and high, so it trs clean, clear sound for it is the top (Funck, cold and crystalline blues on the bass) for saturated The quality of these microphones is also their default TFW .. namely that they lack can be a chouillas of "fat" ls for heavy rhythm, so you have to play prcis trs, and many get into it if you want to play a little mchant, but the pedals or distortion of the amplifier to operate at this level also;
VSC is effective, but I still my prfre MICROAMP of mxr to boost, say has brought even more options (you can also boost serious acute +, not that mdium) a food fast enough batteries (although the stuff back in the middle!)

SOUNDS

was right for my style, mostly rock, hard, clear and beautiful sounds.
I play mostly on whawha sansampgt2 + + + ME8 effects of a sound and clear channel amp. or at home on a mesa boogie + studio22.
everything is possible except the organic trs, trs dgoulinant fat and if you know what I mean, this guitar will be for some to be too clinical ... s'battre to make him really speak her, what! finally looks like Elie Semoun, j'me'comprends ....
against by the tappng and plans to show off, the handle is trs nice to me, more than others (Gibson SG and Hamer centaur)
in fact I would take this guitar not to play Rory Gallagher, or for the extreme death if she does everything else well.

OVERALL OPINION

Two years?
most: quiet, pretty and trs class, you can play it in a tuxedo and versatile ...
minimum: a little heavy for my small frame and a Start, the nut n'tait not well finished, only default, because the rest silent perfect ...
I tried ibanez, strata, Vigier, sg, les paul etc ...
I bought 1200 dollars to us by ebay (customs Franaise included) and the ratio q / p trs is good compared to the layers, eg ... New it is (when it is) just under 2000 euros, the report q / p is correct with no more and I would not buy this award. In this regard the value argus Audiofanzine gives me strange looks ... (200 euros less than the standard that is alder + SLAR, whereas here one has the key in ash + super bne .. .. I think she has the same value at worst, see a little more CHRE, which is confirmed by the price of nine ...)
that price I reprendrais.mais finally, mca dores, it's not my thing, a wrong with my hair ...

Voilla prior reviews are very fair, I think my personal RH4 classic perfect
it sounds a wonder in my vs100r (with 4x12 cabinet "), wood and acastillage perfect, short but good ..

UTILIZATION

The playing comfort and precision are the impeccable, nothing to say over a best, I find it more comfortable than my Ibanez S series (well it must depend on taste)
weight and reasonable, but still above a lot of layers, but his phenomenal balance can not feel this slight overweight

SOUNDS

The sound finally sounds, these huge, I am always happy to see the impressive range of sounds of my beautiful, everything is there, clear the way to the trash Knopfler Metallica through sounds more bluesy way rory (my guitar fetish) for it just to juggle a little about the regulation of electronic board and the settings of the amp, I use a head marshall 4x12 cabinet vs100r of a pod in the effects loop and frankly with amps and a good quality guitar such as a pod of some do everything without forced.

OVERALL OPINION

Perfect for me, I think they tried a guitar as a whole have been looking for a general strat
