Hello all

Model made "made in Japan"
Well, at first ... but beark, but .... it's not for nothing that the small scrapers as J and K Hetfield Hamet's have adopted.
After testing at the store ... the slap!

UTILIZATION

Then, 24 frets to the counter with bookmarks at the top (or bottom) of the handle. Quite honestly, it Drout to beginners (I play with a classic Gibson 1960)
Floyd Rose finely crafted blend of very high quality 2 double Seymour with a first volume knob that switchent microphones (which button you press to activate one or two microphones) and a Tone knob.

Mechanics do not move, you can make BENDS standards, the tuning is no pb. And for those who freak out about the change of rope (which silent in my case) is an absolute happiness. The change is timed in 2 minutes, not more. (Best is when you break a string at the palm, it can rcuprer)

The balance?
it is good, it holds well, it is not imposing, heavy without being bulky
A single large BMOL: you can lower the volume without realizing it as a mic volume is too close to the strings (see foto)

SOUNDS

And sound in all this??
it is very simple: it's super versatile and can play metal to blues, to rock to bossa. Glands because I ... I just dlaiss my gibson ESP for this ...
you can have the weight, clear sound, finally, whatever you want (with an effect, it's even simpler)

OVERALL OPINION

Finally ...?

I have since last May and I'm delighted
I tried the signature model KH (double the price and less versatile)
Quality price ratio?
1100 euros in Paris more universal guitar strings and straps ...

I'll take another good !!!!!

PS: Take in black and red .. not the model I had red and ... BOAF beginners, it is not that great and gets bored very quickly.
