    What type of race? *dropoff Window

    Channel Technique relatively flat, the most attention Gros handle its width a real handicap for metaleux since it is a partion guitar métalaux is easily handle a terrible fate gene in fast and technical passage, if we did a little but the gene is still of great defect that breaks a little this beautiful guitar, I'm very happy anyway.

    With the experience I would have chosen another guitar without hesitation, ESP Sorry but this time it's a little off (still great respect to manufacturer).


    USE

    Is the handle comfortable?

    Yes, despite a very easy way out

    Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?

    Quite simple

    Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

    Banal form (AC works well I like the sober) Weight relatively heavy mas I like heavy guiatres ^^ it feels good to. Very durable guitar.
    Gets it easy to sound good? ... *dropoff Window

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is a standard in ESP: The Thin-U. On the Horizon, the handle is painted and varnished. This handle is a blessing, very nice, very well slip, access to acute nickel because of the neck-through ...

    The guitar is made of ash, it weighs a little but nothing serious. It is perfectly balanced in an upright position.

    The sound comes out very easily, and the few available settings (selector micro, micro split) are very easy to use.

    The finish is exemplary, this guitar is beautiful to look at and great to play! A nice short white binding along the neck, head and body giving a very nice look to the guitar. More blocks are pearly tracking the most beautiful effect and perfectly match the look of the guitar.

    Only slight black spot, painting of my two knobs completely disappeared after 1 year of use ...

    SOUNDS

    This guitar is perfect for my style metal oriented symphonic / operatic, to summarize, one could say it's a quiet strength. It is very versatile thanks to the seymour duncan pickups and splittage. In addition, ash body gives a special sound on guitar, very much appreciated.

    By force alone, I mean she can just as easily send very large saturated sound in the bridge position not split, as the crystal clear sound on the neck pickup split!

    The Original Pink Floyd very well also keeps the agreement, and even if the setting is daunting, its use is a treat.

    I play on a Line6 SpiderValve 112 all-tube, and the sound is really a treat.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this guitar for a year and a half, and it's a treat every time out of his box to play with!

    I tried a lot of model before it (for big investment), such as Prestige Ibanez or Jackson Dinky, but there is no photo, it's by far my favorite. This guitar is very versatile, excels in many areas and has a look of both "race", distinguished and sober.

    Basically, it goes everywhere! My only regret is really painting the knobs that disappeared.


    The price / quality ratio is good, because the ESP is really a monster! With experience, I would do much choice, and I think the horizon is the first in a long series of ESP that I would buy in the years to come!

    What type of sleeve? *

    Channel Technical relatively flat, the biggest concern of the handle width a real handicap for metals since it is a guitar designed to be released métalaux easily handle the terrible discomfort when going fast and technical, so we did a little but the gene still has a major flaw that breaks a bit this beautiful guitar, I'm very happy anyway.

    With experience I have chosen another guitar without hesitation, ESP Sorry but this time it's a bit dud (still a great respect for this manufacturer).

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is it nice?

    Yes, despite a very easy way out

    Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?

    Fairly easy

    Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

    Commonplace Beauty (AC agrees very well I like the sober) relatively heavy heavy guiatres mas I like ^ ^ they are feeling well. Very durable guitar.

    Do you get a good sound easy? * ...

    2 Years

    What thing do you like most/least about it?

    1 - Positive Points: The pickups, the neck (for ease of playing AC), his weight for me is a plus heavy guitars . His Duty ESP knows what addresses an audience metalheads so careless pretty brutal .

    2 - Points Negatives: The handle (it comes out easily) Luckily there version sanatoriums vibrato.

    Did you try many other models before getting this one?

    Yes me too but I présipité

    What is your opinion about the value for the price?

    A little expensive even if I got it at 1600 € in stores.

    Guitar made in Japan ... so .. TOP quality!
    24 frets I think, with Floyd Seymour D Original
    1 volume control (which can splitter!), 1 tone control and a button selection of microphones.
    1 defect, the volume control is placed too near the ropes, so that ... it's hard .. but we made it
    the neck is thin and round ..
    good, a bit like gibson, so super easy!

    going to summarize .. TOP quality
    attention ... this is not a LTD !!!!!!! also to be avoided!

    a large black spot .. : Benchmarks of the boxes at the top (or bottom of the handle ..) AC, galley because it requires them to do when you go to the treble is very very painful

    a large black spot .. : Benchmarks of the boxes at the top (or bottom of the handle ..) AC, galley because it requires them to do when you go to the treble is very very painful

    UTILIZATION

    The neck is perfect, easy, ergonomic, the ideal
    the access to acute and very easy
    the weight is relative, but the guitar is very balanced, which is played sitting or standing
    .. it sounds of the ball!
    we have a range of possibilities allucinantes (6 possibilities without touching anything with the choice of microphones)

    SOUNDS

    I play more blues, rock, metal .. it is the foot

    I even found a configuration setting for one of his Fender Start in saturation or steady crunch ...

    Digitech RP3 and hi watt 100w is really happiness: good wholesale, you can get the sound critalin the intro of Nothing Else Matters, and suddenly ... you can spend a good saturation, no dribbling, deep and powerful .. the pedal necessarily help, but the guitar is for bcp!

    I play a bit of Satriani's ditto .. ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 2 years ..
    I love the pallette of sound, build quality, accuracy, floyd ..
    I tried the signature Hammet .. K is 1000 euros more expensive ... but you have EMG are less versatile

    So ... no contest
    I refer this choice without concern, major concern of the landmarks still fret
