UTILIZATION

The handle (varnish) is very good and access to acute problems is not

the form being a strat ergonomics does not really talk.

well, it's the custom shop ESP JAPAN even when not so if we get a direct fucking her little cry scandale.on it has the sound strat

SOUNDS

To be moved from a ESP Forest GT (HH) to ESP snapper (HSS) and playing lots of shred and big sound, the snapper is doing quite a bit even though we feel that the microphone is not worth a double good for SH4 Palm mute, nothing to say on two simple microphones relative to sweep, tapping, etc. ....

I used successively with a Diezel Herbert = (when throw in Kyoto), H & K 50 Tubes, Orange Tiny Terror, Danelectro Honeytone (lol)

thanks to the HSS config we succeed in obtaining a wide range of sounds,
a position the neck pickup sounds very loud, one wonders where are the low
position 2 + medium handle, less output but a little more bass
3 middle position sound very pleasant, like a wah-the-race
4 position mid + bridge is the bridge but with less output (no BZZZ)
5 position rack, leaving a copy of SH4 but ESP + acute (you can feel with palm mute)

bah perso jaime well the sound of the 5-position (but that is not in my forest sh4 rahhh gt)
and position 2 is perfect for the sweep, the position one has too much output for me)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

July 2007

- What is so special that you like most and least?

HSS config +!!
- Bolt bouhhhhh

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

jai had to choose between a forest and gt this one is about as versatile + snapper was there!

- How would you rate the quality / price?

if we want at the price of Jerichomusic = mouai, I got it for less than that in the custom shop in Kyoto. yeah it is for against the custom after must not complain.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

bah too!
