Buy Euro 1000 France-hand store.

-Alder body.
Whitish-varnish (like Michael Romeo) super pais.
24-Bolt Saddle lacquer box with a beautiful rosewood fingerboard (very dense the Rosewood). Pearl inlay with the logo of the brand in 12 th box.
-The bridge is a Floyd Rose original.
-Two double humbucker pickups and a simple format.
-The neck is much thinner than a standard Start, but coarser than the ibanez neck.
However I find this much more enjoyable round than my RG prestige, which is "too" late. APRS is a matter of taste.

So this is a "Super Start."
Guitar hard rock, mtal, while keeping the spirit "strata". (Shape of the guitar, violin).

UTILIZATION

-The handle is a real highway, and was well in hand, because it is not too flat, compared with a handle like Ibanez, who are really sometimes too flat.
Accs-to dernires frets without problem.
-For weight, there is a violin-like "strata", well balance.
-On a fast enough good sound, microphones origins representatives rather correct.
However, the simple microphones (minihumbucker) lack a lot of original sin I think, but to make clean, it is more than enough.
However, for shredder, we prfrera pickups DiMarzio or EMG type (which I made because I think the DiMarzio adhere well to the sound of the guitar, and really huge sound, the EMG are good too, but must be able to provide with what is at the end of jack: pedals, amps ...)

In the disassemble is s'apperois that electronics is very well made, no welding or other problem. All cavities are peintent with black paint to avoid the buzz mtalique and other sounds indsirables.

The origins of microphones being relatively good and the guitar damn well Designed, I have nothing further to report.

SOUNDS

-I play mostly hard rock and mtal above. These are his areas of prdilection, she excels ^ ^
The solos go alone, and rhythm together perfectly, thanks to the low string action trs.
-I play on a 30 w tube amp (classic 30), which I add one of distortion pedals,
(Metal muff), and have the sound I wanted.
-The clear sound is not great, but correct. The distortion is monstrous. Hot, but we keep a good trs DEFINITIONS (DiMarzio's help) and a remarkable dynamic (using alder).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 days now non stop. For me, it's guitar and shred mtal perfect, simple, practical, no default ^ ^
At the base of the East j'tais MODELS Vigier, but I did not AIM (the question of taste, for they are great guitars), I tried an ibanez-end sup than level one I possde dj, but I prfre by far the ESP.
I do not know how this guitar coutait new, but for the price I paid, used the report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable. It virtually silent new (just a lgre wear frets).
I think I would do this choice, and it is quite possible that if I see another hand pass a reasonable price I throw myself on it ^ ^
