zantoinef « A guitar that has the face ... and sound »
Published on 09/11/11 at 04:35This guitar was manufactured in Mexico.
It has a vintage vibrato bridge type.
A handle 22 boxes, so 22 frets.
The pickups are Vintage Hot Alnico Humbucking, at the config a neck pickup and a pickup.
There is a volume control and 2 tone settings and a 5-way switch:
Position 1: bridge pickup humbucking single position. The stamp is powerful and rich and is perfect for aggressive rhythm, yet precise.
Position 2: the two inner coils of each humbucker are used together.
Position 3: neck + bridge pickup.
Position 4: outer coil neck pickup. It is with the one and my favorite position = 5)
Position 5: neck pickup only position humbucking. We blame this position too serious that increase greatly the stamp obtained.
The only regret is not having 24 cases.
UTILIZATION
The handle is sticky at the beginning (too sticky when you sweat), this effect fades to keep playing if I heard of wet sanding, however, I preferred to wait until the handle is 'done' alone and that the varnish is best.
Ergonomics are good except "where we put the arm" (which I do not know the name) lacks a bit to get used to tilt a little but I do not mind it in my game
Access to acute is easy as well as the heel of the handle starts at the 17th case in the form of strat allows finger (but not to get inches below) to easily access the last boxes, such as a piece of Metallica in the treble is easily playable.
In sound bah I love it whether clean or saturated (although this guitar is designed to clean the saturated sound is very good).
SOUNDS
They are well suited to my style of music Rock, Hard Rock, however I think it would be a bit tight for the metal: it is not a shred stick.
You can get a lens as its very very solid sound, according to selector positions: position 1,3,5 a big sound on 5 is great for solos and the fourth position is almost a bah its stratum, c is also what makes it a good guitar to get good sounds hard rock, rock and have a sound of strata and to do as the blues.
The problem is there at the amp ^ ^ I will soon buy an all-tube head but right now I "only" a bass amp that is expensive I won a contest but the guitar is not a sound with my amp Line 6 Spider IV transistor 15 which I think does not let his personality on the guitar and therefore can not fully estimate my guitar if I use the last brief Cry Baby Dunlop (base model) and it makes good (in any case one always makes Cry Baby: p).
I like all positions of the guitar, but if I were to say that I like least that would be the third (+ neck pickup bridge pickup). My three favorites are the 1st, 4th, and 5th. I have not mentioned the second position because it looks like the fourth but with a lower output level.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 months.
I have not tried the other model, I really had a shot on his heart and the design and finish of this guitar.
Most: Everything: the sound, design, color (I picked black rosewood), comfort.
The -: 2 The only downside I find is not having a handle 24 cases and the default is no longer the end of a 1 ~ 2 months, the varnish a little sticky when you have to play the guitar a number of hours for it to fade (you can always go faster with such a wet sanding).
I think the value for money is very good after the guitar seems very solid and robust but that there is that the time will tell if it really is, at least as I write these lines it is very well and in perfect condition =)
With experience, I would do this choice still leaves to be € 50 more in this guitar.
Anyway I hope this helps to enlighten you a bit if you're not sure (yet!) =)
