UTILIZATION

Warning I often compare it with my other guitar, a Fender Stratocaster Floyd Rose Classic (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index% 2Cidproduit 2C15249.html%).

The handle is in the words of ESP, a thin U. It is comfortable and moderately fine plutt. I feel that the sleeve, so pais and more than my Start. As the handle of the Horizon is wider (the owners of the SG and the SRV spoke of "highway"), it reinforces my impression of being more pais, have, in any case, more "Contents". The guitar and the handle are compltement varnish (transparent): the left hand dplacements seem ISSA.
Bne is the key to enjoyable eye, but unlike what is often said, I do not feel a gain of fluid in my game from a rosewood fingerboard .

[edit] Since I think of 26/01/2006, I rgler my guitar and I did change the pickups. I should notice rdiger spar because it is the guitar a lot changes. I just wanted prciser here that I ascribe to the jumbo frets (having a lightweight touch to the risk of playing out of tune), is essentially the consquence bad SETTING THE guitar. I find it shameful qu&#39;Algam (distributor franais) dares to say they did rgler guitar by one of their technicians. They do not say it&#39;s a transportation problem, because even the bridges of the bridge n&#39;taient not rgls.

Access in acute greatly facilitated by the handle driver is irrprochable.

I t surprised by the lgret the guitar (much more than my strat lgre: this may be the Floyd makes heavy stratum). I&#39;ll have the PSE one day ...

SOUNDS

Humbuckers not split:
In distortion / crunch, there is grain of Contents. The sound is thick and warm while remaining plutt prcis.
The Jeff Beck is powerful enough to push to hard rock or alternative mtal (like Deftones, coincidentally)
The 59 is round and can couraging a nice chorus with his flute or have a rock sound a bit messy (a bit: everything is relative).
In his clear, has made me think the SG standard with a buddy. As I rve snapping sounds more strats, notament positions intermdiares a little hollow, I&#39;m not fully satisfied. But we can obviously not blame the guitar.
SH4 is the slamming and 59, especially in this position, gently load low. L too, I feel a certain thickness of the sound that I can not find in my Start (HSS: DM Paf pro, SC Am Std, Am Std Sc), except possibly be of the double ct. (One night we even tried my two guitars, an SG Standard and a Fender SRV - and oddly, the simple to the SRV had more thickness of gnaque of rpondant, dynamics. Texas Special .. rules!)

Humbuckers Splitter:
The push-push (not push-pull) is located on the CONTRL of tonal and splits the two microphones at the same time: so you have six positions diffrent on this guitar.
The dual and split is good. In any case it&#39;s better than nothing. But is not "the real thing." For clean sounds simple (Who said "positions intermdiaires "?!), nothing beats the simple (or so I have not tried yet!) Finally, it is correct, without being transcendent ( Why he brought his SRV, other?)! In distortion / crunch, I have not really paid attention, I just said c&#39;tait INTERESTED.

ATTENTION, however! I bought this little gem, for him sticking a pair of EMG with a 81! It means I&#39;m looking for something puisssant prcis and trs.
Ct for blues / rock versatile, I have my Start that I love!
My comments are not only subjective, they are carrment biaiss oriented!
In fact, I know, there was no end of 2005 ESP Horizon NT-II (or other way) team original EMGs.
[edit] A forumeur of AF, at least for the evocative name, has since been delivered (by his mag franais, if I remember correctly) a Horizon NT-II directly mounted in EMGs. Ask yourself, if you your intresss.
[edit to edit!] No need to Mystras: he laid his own opinion. I named the Jacksonian Draghixa frustrated amateur hairy shovels!
[edit Edit the ba!] Bin shit! The AOT 23 2006, Drag is a pseudo pass boulesque a more scatophile! Readers will no longer understand anything! ("/>


OVERALL OPINION

A superb guitar in a beautiful tui (I just wish the mtal feet on the side and bottom: on the edge, they are plastoc and substance there is not!). Comfortable easy play and trs (even my right arm is not the absence gn chamfer on the body).
Trs versatile with warm and powerful sound plutt (I had told my friend my drummer prfre the strata, the sal ...!).
Good qualitprix, even if the distributor could be a force on the PVC - 1790). I have a few minor criticisms to make, but for the price ...

When my wife will divorce on grounds of the family budget dilapidage hardware in the guitar, I BUY ANOTHER!
