1 puch knob Sweater passage double / single and volume.

UTILIZATION

Handle very thin (thick) but wider at the top of sleeve. Very nice for fast play.
Easy access to acute.
Excellent ergonomics, but very heavy guitar (maple American body and sleeve).
Its HUGE but still accurate on the Screamin Deamon, clear sound nice but it is far from a Stratocaster guitar ... made primarily for playing the Hard Rock.

A small point less for the weight that is painful for repeated 2 / 3 hours ... or he must do as Goerge Lynch ... get to the gym!

SOUNDS

Is perfect for my style of music (Rock / Hard Rock). It really is a guitar made for that.
I play with a Peavey VK212 amp with two Celestion Vintage 30 HP instead of Peavey HP ... changes everything.
3 Effects: Ibanez TS9 and CS9 (Tube screamer and chorus) and an Ibanez delay.

This guitar provides sounds from blues to heavy metal with no problem (depending on the configuration and adjustment of effects and amp).
The clean sounds, as said above, are nice but do not play with as a stratum. Are we talking about here is a cut for heavy guitar sounds, powerful, crunchy or made of metal.

Whatever the micro SS120 is far from bad, the team still ESP GL56 home ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 2 months. Before I had an ESP / LTD M100FM ... Needless to say the gap, as I say, the gulf between these two guitars ....( gap in price for that matter ... all s 'explains).
I love everything about this guitar ... I dreamed for years (being a fan of Lynch!).
She is beautiful even if 42 balls, I was still a little hesitant on the side "Tiger" of the thing ... a little showy but it is also what makes the charm and exclusivity (if not, what do would not be a Tiger!).
I tried quite a few models before you buy, but in all Honesty is vriament a guitar that is grand finish, as the acastillages, microphones, the quality and accuracy of the handle ... Finally, it is a perfect guitar.
The value for money seems normal given the intrinsic quality of the instrument but also and especially the sound coming out ...! it's still a true size this guitar.
Well, what I like is that it's not a guitar you see everywhere. I do not think she runs the streets in France .. (seen waiting times in the order: 9 to 12 months).
With hindsight and experience, I do it again the same choice .... it's an exceptional guitar.
