All user reviews for the 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

Swiss brand, made in Switzerland.
Start amliore.
alder body and neck stocky, rosewood fingerboard, 22 jumbo frets, profile c plutt end radius of strata.
vintage vibrato 6 screws, mechanical self-locking Gotoh.
one volume, one Tone (plus a push-pull), a slecteur 5 positions, 3 position switch VSC.
a micro ct double easel, splitable and two singles.
mirrored pickguard dark.
wood and varnish splendid violin irrprochable finish ni-kel!
the blue logo on the head is really ugly ... trs cheap: a little effort Mr Levinson!
original price: about 2000 euros ....

UTILIZATION

The handle a little surprised because it is thinner than a Start but it is very easy and enjoyable trs.
Accessibility assistive technology software for the acute amliore is because the heel is more profile.
it is heavy but well balance, with dcoupes rigorous on the body to be comfortable.
sound empty ton power and brilliance.
lots and lots of sustain .....................
action on the vibrato does not dsaccorde guitar mcaniques of the head (the top of the genre!) and graphite nut (this is self-lubricating, graphite) are for you!
it's a guitar that often does not connect ...
ds that branch, we see immediately that there is no noise, no bzzzzz krrrrrr or other exotic sound that strats are fond of: no risk to capture the radio with this RH4 this signing an electronic wiring and a cure.

SOUNDS

Just stick ct dlivre sound strat typical, if enjoyable (argh!) plain as crunch or saturated happiness!
Central is just going everywhere, more banal, as in the stratum, whether clear, crunch, or too saturated.
sounds intermdiaires voquent instantanment sound strat, Obviously ...
ct double easel is a big step up the output level: in short, difficult to get a clean sound: you have to play with the volume (the former) to avoid flirting with the crunch ; cel said, I like this type of dmoulage its most crude and brings a renewed momentum during group play.
the sound is cut in the acute-mdiums with lots of punch and sustain!
if the splits, we keep the same characters but it significantly reduces noise output power, the coup clean sounds are our door ... but it sounds a little away when strat m me!
saturated in the micro and Splitter is trs aggressive and loud enough ... not my position prfre! (micro ...).
Splitt rcupre not sound a lot of punch and roundness, but retains its sharp and aggressive ct: a real killing but quite typical and not suitable for certain styles though ...!:
do not forget the switch VSC (Variable Spectrum Control).
he flew an active electronics powered by a 9v battery, but a boost that is disabled in a central position.
pushed it right boosts mdiums.
pushed left, it boosts the bass and treble.
in addition, has the rear of the body, with a small screwdriver, can accder (without disassembly) with 3 small potentiomtres allowing rglage pramplification level of 3 ranges fr consequences ...
VSC is far from being a gadget and it will and can make you instantanment merger of a dense mix, with more than its hard? ... you push left over for PCHE the solo? ... you push right. childish, unstoppable, gnial!
Note: The VSC acts on all mics.
if you do not find (your) sound (s) with all the possibilities offered by this blade (a real Swiss Army knife ...), then you good to point your COTOREP .. .

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar possde me for three years.
I also used others but I always come back with much pleasure.
She has a great sound!
it's a great strat a little diffrent however, especially because of the double, but the relative noise is evident.
it is expensive today, but the violin and amply justifies the quality of sound.
three years ago, it still was worth 9000F; must be the equivalent of dbourser 13500f pay for it so far: the sudden I note 7.
blade, like many other brands (fender, gibson, prs ,...............) failed to stem the flight of a price ... MR Levinson little effort, because it's worth it!

Mine is a DIFFERENT MODEL:
- English Channel off the back round, standard pitch Saddle flame of a single pice of the most beautiful effect!
- Color Honey transparatre leaving the beauty of wood
- Other caratristiques notice identical to previous ones

[edit]
- Polyurethane varnish the handle
- Nitrocellulose Lacquer Body
- Radius 12.5 "
- The V-3 are stacked coils (noiseless: double format simple?)
- The Falcon Tremolo is unfortunately not sold sparemment
[/ Edit]

The body is frne of Japan (Sen Ash) to be dissociated from frne (all) and frne marshes. He who is closest Properties of acoustic frne marshes.
His weight quivaut that of alder for better rsonnance.
D'APRS my research, the frne of Japan is used once for body vintage Stratocasters in Japan around 1980.
He did not seem to be used outside trs Blade. There may be a reason ...
Is the price charged for this timber is too lev or they have the exclusivity as they work with a Japanese team that provides the timber.

[edit]
The reason they use the Sen-Ash is that compared to the Swamp-Ash (frne marshes) these last years, the weight (density so rsonnance) and the aesthetics policy are constant.
[/ Edit]

UTILIZATION

The handle is a rgal, it is as wide as I like. The trs frtes are working well despite the fact that they are jumbo size. To the lead, fingers slide over the handle without a hard frte does the skin. The best of the best t have a shorter pitch type Gibson, but the I quibble a bit.
Access in the acute pose no problem but could be more ISSA plate screws can interfere Most recent internship in boxes.

To the sounds ... I feel like I'm going to spend much time tweaking legalization active: not if you just want to play!
It has so many possibilities that you spend your time trying. We must know what you want to exploit as its fast. At least it knows the positions of the microphones, splittages the bridge pickup and of the contribution of boosts bass and treble + medium color noise, you get a scratch CRER more ^ _ ^

Otherwise, the ergonomics are good trs, is that a stratum can not be dpays.
The body is not the CATEGORY lightweight, but fortunately it does not figure in the Les Paul CATEGORY!

SOUNDS

It comes with sound!
I was looking for something versatile and efficient trs in each sound field. This is a little research the Holy Grail - A not so legendary Holy Grail, but more land - land when you have a little luck.

Discoveries I have the possibilities of an H & K Edition Tube. It could qu'tre flattering, but no gap in terms of clean sound with my little H & K Edition Blue 15w.
I try to approach all styles, but the clean sound is part of the indispensable basis for attacking other styles correctly.

We find no problem strats sound, his violin can have a bright sound without being aggressive, and that even with the boost engaged! The pickups are fairly neutral. not enough personality? Trs well, a boost to arrange and provide a sound close to an acoustic. To beginners, I even thought that the little switch connects a Piezo me.

Playing with the microphone boost on medium easels, I found I like tones on Telecasters, as they say a Twang!

Let us turn to the sounds distos! I play with a Blackstar HT-Dual. The bridge humbucker can attack the Big Rock and Metal style stride. Not enough potatoes? ==> Activation of the medium that adds a boost voicing trs enjoyable! The lead then get along much better.

For those who like the sound of humbuckers in the neck position should not be either due. The neck pickup does not sound ultra-thin, so to make the bold stroke of a switch to boost Bass / Treble and it was something more round, enough to do a good big rock.

There is nothing dplaisant in this configuration is for me IDAL.

Thanks to electronic active, you can really play all styles.
She never n'galera The models specially high end we all know in their areas of prdilections, but it gives the chance to tater all styles without seeming ridiculous. This is not a toy, but a real knife-Switzerland (!) Without wanting to make explicit nod.

OVERALL OPINION

Always so happy to have been a short week only.

C'tait real chance that that I came across it, and (unfortunately for my wallet) I cracked it directly!

It is primarily a beautiful body that attracted me something she DGIG spcial among all strata Fender cts, the handle Saddle not flame me Permit indiffrent more. And how can we not talk about his plate mirror "SPIA" the most beautiful effect no matter what the Lumire! Let us not forget the bridge built Falcon mystrieusement.

I strum to estimate its rsonnance ... and has given me immediately want to try it.
L c'tait cooked! I Discoveries sounds almost acoustic triggers when the boost (especially on micro sleeves & middle), and the handle so comfortable despite the strings and frets Jumbo 10-46.

You guessed that I fell in love with Blade. The manufacturer has put the package to the stuff that the team, superb mcaniques blocks, a very effective bridge combining the advantages of an easel to keep al rsonnance and a floating bridge to the beach tremolo possible. The violin is thunder and the choice of electronics.

In original price, it is a little CHRE: 1800 with the handle stocky, but dj that price, it has a best dj qualit-quipement/prix. (I say that a m'intressais js1000 ...). But in time, in around 1000, do not miss it!
If you can, take the time to try it, it's really something that will entice you.

I really regret not having jumped at the chance!
