Trs beautiful guitar, simple but effective ... only drawback, there is no button Tone.
The selector can be placed too low, but I chipotte lol!

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, it's a highway. This is a handle end.
The varnish does not catch.
Access in acute is very simple.
Trs good balance, it is a bit heavy, so I can afford the heavy hh term is because of mahogany, but it is so much lighter than my gibson les paul!
Anyway, what we feel it is not a plastic scraper, but it does not hurt the back APRS several hours of play up.
Very easy to play as well as sitting upright.
It is therefore equipped with EMG 81 and 60, we get a quick rev's, a large well-typed EMG's what ...
The 81 is destructive it is saturated with trs trs prcis and punchy.
As against its clear bin pffffff have to play with 6O! lol
She has a great range of sounds.

SOUNDS

So I bought it because I was looking for a good scratch to ... the bagpipes! hh mtal to the course! and uh how you say it's a bomb! a formidable weapon!!
Ben I play with a head Engl Ritchie Blackmore and a baffle 212 V30 home engl, all that was good beats up ...

So as I said above, the EMG's, so for the metal 81 is a reference, no need to make this evidence REPS! hhbr /> then the EMG 60 in the handle is simply stunning.
Indeed, it is a micro active but warm! full of nuances, I found myself with a blues. In a crunch is DLIC.
In distortion is good too trs. Anyway a good micro trs trs versatile.

The addition of a tone would sound t to further increase the sonic potential of the scratches and make even more shades.

Ben I love the big sound in the saturated bridge pickup, the clean, crunch and the saturation of the EMG 6O.
EMG 81 bridge pickup does not excel in clean and crunch, although that is not what you asked!

OVERALL OPINION

This is a scratch that I coveted for a year now, I had to try it at least a dozen times and has been a week since I have it.
I changed the strings, rgl the neck and bridge, to bring it to my game and ben is HUGE!
the +: - easy to handle Thurs
- The micro EMG 60
- The power and the edge of the EMG 81 in the large saturation
- Color
- The general aspet

the -: the absence of tonality.

In terms of trying to scratch o yes I have tried elsewhere, I have a lot of guitars, gibson les paul nottemment of a ibanez MMM1 (baritone) and the scratching me sduit I immediately over it.
But I also play a Gibson Les Paul Zakk Wylde EMG 81 85 team is different bin, the Gibson manages to give personality to the microphone, Night at 81 while the MTM1 remains fairly neutral with this microphone.

The ratio quality price is a bit lev ... I think Euro 1200 would trs t enough.

Exprience with this choice I would do so, it's really a guitar great, she excels in the field for which it is manufactured t say for a metal.
It should not in other records.
It is a good investment trs to make irritating music if you know what I mean.
