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!
