The technical details are clearly presented in the previous post.

Guitar excellent workmanship (made in Japan of course!).

Note the jack (female) especially useful, especially designed for the cable through your strap.

UTILIZATION

While the handle is more enjoyable to play, I do not feel too much difference with my Sabre S370 series, which is still lower quality.
It is slightly rounded, which makes it more convenient still.

Easy access to all of the handle, and you can easily use his left hand to hold the vibrato from below the handle. (For fans of harmonics typed JS)

The particular profile of the body (the top end off the bottom, when you play standing) provides better visibility of the instrument played standing.

Guitar rather light, as already stated.

SOUNDS

The sound is just crystal clear! the neck pickup is impressive depth and clarity! (See cool # 9) With or without saturation behind, guaranteed results!

The microphone body is more aggressive, but always warm.
Have easily play the metal by adding a good disto equalisée in / (ie less than treble bass).
However, "it was Meant for rock!" (More than for the metal ...)

The harmonics sound without problems, but better with a stronger pull than the original (9-46 instead of 9-42 for example).

Nevertheless, we feel it is in the sound of a sharpened weapon for solo-ing!
She is still using the versatile humbuckers into single detachable for rhythm.

OVERALL OPINION

I was probably one of the first in France to have this guitar. (August 2004 I believe.
I buy on site to US ... even before its release.
That is, the store shipped me the receipt. It has been available in France a few months after ... hahaha

Okay it's wrong for our dear little shopping district, but ... for a total savings of € 500 at the time ... the choice was quickly made!
€ 1,200 all inclusive (plus shipping + custom hard case)

A again, I'm starting again with closed eyes!

After, Satch, we like it or not, but even for those who do not, know that this guitar alone is worth the trip!
