Value For Money : Excellent
A very nice guitar Japanese basswood body, handle Saddle with rosewood fingerboard.
The neck is a Wizard 24 cases (it dates from 94 jumbo frets ...),. You get shark teeth on the handle as the current DX MODELS.
It has 2 humbuckers V7 and V8 original + a S1 in the middle ... Mine was quick to DiMarzios HRIT.
Rglages? not too exotic volume, Tone slecteur 5 positions
The bridge is a Floyd Rose.

UTILIZATION

Bon ben handle ... What is a Wizard, large and fine, super enjoyable to play ... Access in acute trs is good, I often go tickle box 24 ^ ^. J'apprcie also lgret the guitar (especially my back in fact), and the ergonomics are good (a typical RG).

The guitar is very solid, despite the blows of table / desk / wall it has taken (not used to the head pointed to the beginners!). The knobs are nickel, slecteur DCON a little, sometimes the simple touch of jumps, takes a little beaten up. The jack is solid, that is my Cort dvissait all the time, he holds it in place.
The trick is enjoyable as the tuning, you change the strings, is given slowly, the day after the head is blocked and it puts the tuner. An happiness!

SOUNDS

Step 1: micro base
I liked the bridge pickup, he gave me good sound in clear and distortion (distortion even in large). Just made me a few services, against the neck pickup ... Its pretty clear, in no distortion. Good on my POD y'avait way to find a sound that suited her, but it is frankly not docile.

Step 2: new
I put a PAF Pro in neck, Super II in a rack, and a Fast track 1 between the two ... Nothing to say, his hair cell as I will, although a Paf Pro massive, a II Super loud enough, a Fast Track MODR more ... I like! By POD against my love a little less but that's another story.

I put 8 because of the original microphones

OVERALL OPINION

Mine is 12 years old, I bought it new a year ago and a half to 700. Actually I do not understand how she could stay in the store so long without finding acqureur!

It became really fun to play with the scraper. Before I had a Cort M200 ... Day and night! When I return to the Cort after 2 minutes it's range, jpeux play with!
It's an easy guitar to play, but with great potential, I did not feel limited.

The only thing is he must love the color (mine is "Neon Purple"), so I love me drang has not.
The report qualitprix is ​​great, especially with DiMarzio. I would do without this choice hsiter!
