«  a very good guitar! »

Published on 09/19/12 at 13:33
This guitar is alder with 2 EMG 81 double coils.
the handle is a 24 frets rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets abalone markers.
the bridge is a floyd rose super efficient.
electronics is super simple and a toggle-switch 3 positions and one volume knob, which is simple enough and well here!

UTILIZATION

the handle is remarkably well built and well finished, satin varnish is super nice.
the thickness of the handle remains almost the same until the body-neck joint, where it becomes slightly thicker, so you do not have the feeling of a log in the left hand, the game is extremely nice on this guitar, happiness!
the interface is simple and natural, with a body of stratocaster handle well and end well studied.
Access to acute is facilitated by the bevelled heel, when you put your thumb at the joint of the neck and body, you can easily reach the 24th fret with the pinky.
the sound is really good with this guitar, laney lionheart in my, this is really good!

SOUNDS

this guitar is well suited to my style is rock, hard rock and shred-metal that breaks down walls when grandma is a party!!
snapping sound is powerful when you press notes, for cons, I noticed a slight "shhhhh" when you turn up the sound with the microphone grave, as if he drooled a little ....
for the rest, nothing to say, I used EMG pickups ... they are really good and surgical precision, heat, sound hard rock are waiting for you!
course, with an alder body that provides heat and power and EMG 81 that ensure the accuracy and silence in the sound, it was the best of two worlds!
the sound of the EMG 81 is the sound of metallica!
even in my amp lionheart was the sound of Metallica, they are very fat and typical is unequivocal about his identity!

OVERALL OPINION

this is my guitar students and I, thanks to him, had a great time!
models that I have tested, see my other test benches ...
what I like the most, the sound of EMG 81, neck, benchmarks abalone, finishing simple but actually copy a guitar.
what I like least: the sound of the neck pickup a little runny in the clear, an instrument that could be better appreciated by professionals ...
the price / quality ratio is exemplary, my student has had to € 1,200 while it is displayed easily € 500 more on other sites.
In summary, this guitar will fill the fans sleeves easy, hard rock, rock and all those who wish to acquire a guitar efficient, versatile styles in rock, and love the black dress of this beautiful and simple.
