Fingerboard: ebony.
FRETS: 24 Extra Jumbo.
Scale: 25.5 "
Neck Inlays: Mother of Pearl Half blocks.
Bridge: Floyd Rose Original.

Pickups: Seymour Duncan JB TB4 Bridge & SH1n 59 'Channel.
Electronics: Volume 1 (with push / push for micro splitter, then passing the humbucker to single coil), 1 Tone, "toggle switch" 3 positions. The Toggle is much more reassuring and solid as a switch in the way Stratocaster, and the push / push, too, the impression of solidity is omnipresent.
COLOURS: See Through Black Cherry (Dark Red French.
In short, we can not blame the characteristics of the guitar, at worst this may not be what you are looking, but somehow it's very well done! Perfect quality! I put a 10 out of 10 so ...
UTILIZATION
Played open, the guitar is very fun to play! The neck is PERFECT! At least for me! It is not super-thin like the Ibanez, it is quite "American", I mean, it is quite round (not a Gibson, everything is relative), in the shape of "D" ... In this way, it "slows down" some of my passions and Shredder are my top speeds instinctual MDR! But do not see this as a negative thing! Instead, the handle allowed me to put my game, and combined with the precision of the devil ebony fingerboard (bliss!), We get a handle secure, which prevents us from making the "pains" with the hand left (unless it is really disgusting in his game lol).
Result, just passing on this set, I play 1.5 times better than before, and do not flip, peak speeds are still there even faster than ever! (One has only to look at some tests on Youtube to realize that the handle is not slow at all!). It could be likened to a TGV: It darkens serious but on track! Perfection I tell you, all in comfort!
Access to acute is perfect too, that mean? The heel of the neck is perfectly cut in order to accommodate the hand when it comes to titillating the frets 23 and 24. In addition, you will find the photos that the lower cutaway guitar starts at the end of the handle, allowing access to optimal acute!
The guitar is a bit heavy (nothing to do with a Gibson Les Paul of course) but once attached to his belt and played sitting comfort is perfect for the design of the guitar (its shape, cutting the stomach, etc.). It do not feel the weight ... The Floyd is perfectly in tune that it is the torture I subjected him nyeuheuheu ... (Long live the Dive Bombing nuclear !!!).
Otherwise, to the sound, it gets a good very easily (Please Seymour Duncan). The guitar is very versatile, while keeping its character, it will be there whatever happens and even more if you need the amp!
I put 10/10 again because it would be hard to find a default ...
SOUNDS
I play mainly metal, more or less straight forward, with a predilection for the Hardcore. However, I like to do a Jazz from time to time. So I oscillate between these two styles of music far away ... So I had an extremely versatile guitar, now I have!
In any case she can meet my expectations ... The JB TB4 Bridge is perfect for all sorts of rhythmic and SH1n 59 'Channel is great for solos! Add to that the intermediate position which offers a hybrid between the two microphones, there's plenty to do! In addition, the split is particularly compelling, even if not "the real thing" and that the interests of the guitar is not ... It has six different positions ready to play just what you want ...
JB Normal: Here we are in the "big sound" of the guitar with my Marshall it sounds good rock / Hard Rock (Rock of girls to forget BB Brune immediately ...). Once I plugged Metalcore pedal, it sends dry harmonics you jump to the face and the guitar responds perfectly! While we feel that it lacks a little when it is safe to send really big and really sharp (Son to Chimaira) ... it will be necessary to consider changing the EMG if you really want to reach the summits of the hand, personal 'I refuse to keep the versatility ... perfect for rhythm in any case, at least for the solos, a bit too garish for my taste, but if you have to win a little stage presence that is still compelling!
+59' Normal JB: You get a little Gibsonian its very nice for jazz and funk rhythms to Dooby Brothers ("Long train running"). Superb crunch.
59 'Normal: There is "the" sound for solos whatever the level of distortion ... only downside, it lacks a bit of whistling harmonics but for the rest: what a joy! We also find some small rhythmic bluesy ... apart from the brief rhythmic nags I see no limit to the micro ...
JB Splitter: Here we get a nice little stratabound slamming his ... You know exactly what you can do lol! Perfect for the solo this time, but also in rhythm ... on the other hand, it's not "The Real Thing" as they say, so do not expect to be "the" sound of a Start 'with even if it is really nice and it brings a lot to the guitar ...
JB +59' Splitter: The sound of Folk, great for rhythm, but as always, everything is relative ...
59 'split: If you find the 59' too round and warm, the splitter! The uses are the same ...
In summary, the guitar is perfectly at ease in saturation, a real bomb! As long as the gear and guitarist follow will not be a problem, although some prefer the power range of EMG almost infinite ... The split brings about a really clean sounds! The result can be played just about everything with this guitar, depending on his amp! With at least one sound convincing and in most cases its a damn!
I put 8 because nothing is perfect in sound, and that should have been for 9 the ultimate in versatility, namely the distortion of EMG and sounds of a clear strat '... I'm too demanding? So what! XD
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 weeks and I'm madly in love! I love everything about this guitar (sold in Case by the way), I tried tons and tons of models before but nothing beats the handle and versatility ... The quality / price ratio is really orgasmic, because the only guitar that rivals in this field is the PRS Custom 24, which is 2 times more!
With the experience I would do without hesitation!
