This guitar was made in korea. it could be scary at first, when you see the difference in production at this level

Short tour of the features:
<ul> 24 frets
mahogany body with flamed maple table
Mahogany neck through 5 games (I have not found the other component)
palisandre touch with a nice inlay "barbed wire" (but has some small "defect" installation "is not a masterbuilder ^ ^)
2 Dean humbucker (apparently made by DiMarzio?)
Volume 1 portard
1 tone knob
A toggle switch 3 position (bridge, all round)
Tune O Matic
Grover </ul>

UTILIZATION

This guitar is really agréagle to play.
Very well balanced and not too heavy, Mancu is thin enough, a key with a small radius, a privileged access to acute among others through the handle through.
After a few chords, we see that this guitar is cut for the metal or the big rock.
Perhaps the woods are not as good quality as ESP or other, so a little flexible if you pull the handle for example, or if it is put to bear on the lower body and head (to be avoided because even noramelement it is not good for a guitar!)
In terms of electronics, this is what I prefer: Simplified settings!
2 humbuckers, a 3-position selector (neck, all bridge), a knob for tone and volume.
very easy to get his sound:
The bridge for Rhythmic sharp, the handle for a smooth (ideal light) and two for his rhythm going on everywhere.

SOUNDS

At this level, everything suits me perfectly.
The sound is sharp and clear, the guitar sounds right, even after spending a draft of 14-64 ordes to be granted BEADF # B.
Harmonics just, in short everything goes without any worries!
The tone knob I am not too useful as it is always set to max block for a definition.
I turned recement bridge pickup for a micro vieu Gibson 79 (Pat 2,737,842) and there is really ultimate!
I am fully satisfied with the sound I can get with: not too kind but very effective.
I play a style of music focused on the industrial metal, the sound is perfect, clear and precise in saturation. Coupled with my Brunetti XL R-evo ² is the ultimate! I am often asked the amtos I have to leave such a sound (the amp has a lot to).
The presence in the midrange is superb, making it very well out of the mix next to a low fat well.
Artificial and natural harmonics sound all without too much trouble, except on the string of 64 to 1,2,3 or fourth box (you tried to make harmonic on a string bass?) And then good, be realtiviser, we are not at an ESP or Ibanez Universe, so quality is lower after compared with high-end instrumentals.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half
I love:
- The look
- Ergonomics
- His sound

I like least:
- Micro home
- The finishing detail that is the same as an ESP or Mayones, ....

I had gone to a schecter C1-Classic and then I saw that there is a strict copy (same factory I think) so I was not disappointed!

The price / quality ratio is the ultimate paid € 550 I think I vriament an exceptional instrument in the hands. With a fender strato States, and has also played on Ibanez K7, Gibson, ESP horizon ... I think this guitar does very well. It is not complicated, just know and ask me what this guitar. Once played, they are surprised by the overall quality and sound.

Pushing the reasoning is a perfect guitar for the live: reliable, it sounds, it's mouth! and at this level, we will not distinguish between an ESP and this one (sutout with my amp) but if you want to do real big studio, it is better to look at a premium, of course!

Repeat this choice? more ways than one, I plan to redeem myself the same in another color to have a spare guitar in concert, so I'm happy!
It's simple, this guitar rivals those at about € 1000. Proceed to change the pickups with Gibson, SD, Dimarzion or PRS, and there is a big competition.

The perfect alternative to the Schecter C1-Classic or Washburn X50
