- Made in Asia (probably Korea)
- 24 cases
- Two EMG-HZ (passive)
- Bridge Floyd Rose (Original)
- 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 3 positions
- Channel varnish and screwed

On paper it's great for the big rock, especially at this price (339 euros). Everything is of quality, the violin is well made. Now let's see the beast.

UTILIZATION

- The handle is flat and lacquer finish. It glides like a highway to make good solos mastoc. Fast and comfortable, ideal for metal, normal ...

- Thanks to its stratabound, treble are easily accessible. The 24th case is easily attainable.

- The ergonomics are very nice. Neither too heavy nor too light, no imbalance head / body. It's great!

- You can get a good sound of rock, metal and hardcore. There is just a dial tone at the same time the microphones are passive, so it is limited to some configurations. The qualities of the handle and ergonomics can play fast, accurate and fun!

9 / 10 for the tone, but I quibble much.

SOUNDS

- I play mainly blues, rock "roots", hard, and occasionally metal. Knowing that I is hosting a few days before his prorio take it, I'll try to give an opinion of a "metal 100%". So for the metal, it's all good!

- Small Laney 15 watt amp. But I also tested Guitar Rig and frankly: Wow!
I use also an Ibanez Chorus CF4 and a metal box (for delusions). I'll invest in an octave ...

- The passive EMG do their job and confirm their reputation. At first, we have a sharp, precise, very "cold", and heavy (very severe). Here is the metal of choice by the EMG. Expected, and always surprises ca. This sound is more consistent on the neck pickup, in contrast to the pickup we get a more cast, less serious. I prefer the neck pickup is overall a lot of guitar.
In his clear, forget the bridge pickup (too flat). In the neck position, with a good EQ set, you can touch the Blues. His "warm" and powerful. It's special. Try it!

Moral: Its nickel Disto all microphones combined. You can appreciate the palm mute and solo hell (thank you the 24 cases and EMG)
Clearly, it's clear .... discover a neck pickup, bridge pickup to be banned. (This is a review)

I put 9 for clear sound.

OVERALL OPINION

- I tested it in the store 3 or 4 times. I bought this aprem to make a gift. I could really give me an opinion on the beast. It's a monster (positive ^ ^)!
I look forward to the scratch hehe.

- + => The look. Sober and snapping at the same time. Lovely head and body well reworked.
Sound: EMG HZ's good! Disto impec / Clear to see.
Developments: It's a great guitar to advance his playing and his sound. Certainly it is very metal, but it is a must.

- Less => for that price Uh nothing. [mode chipoteur] he could have put EMG 81 eh!

- I have a lot tested design type metal. It's still one of the best. (I tested mainly LTD)

- Value for money: 9.5 / 10 for EMG HZ eh! : P

- If it was for me, I would have chosen this guitar. I also tested models K6 / Z6: A big killer! EMG 81 oblige! hum. I'll see for a future purchase in this range.

Cort Congratulations!

10/10 for all!
