-> Guitar made in Japan
-> 24 frets, HSH configuration of micro, the neck pickup is a V7, the microphone is a central
S1 and the bridge pickup and an Ibanez V8
-> The vibrato is an ibanez edge pro-working the same way and (for my taste) as
well as a floyd rose
-> The settings could not be more simple: 1 tone, 1 volume and a 5-way switch
-> The handle is a great wizard (very flat profile)

! ATTENTION TO PAINT IS VERY FRAGILE!

Here I put 9 of the varnish really thin ...

UTILIZATION

-> Ah, the handle is both strong and weak points of this guitar because it is very
flat but a little wider than the sleeves that can be used to seeing, I
find it perfect, so much so that I can do without! So it depends on the
likes
-> Access to treble is very good
-> Many people find it a bit heavy but I found great weight, I
11 hours of music a day it There's little time and I did not have to complain, the weight is well distributed, and the shape is great I think
-> With the original pickups, it's pretty easy to get a good sound easy because it Y'a
few adjustments so we branch and the sound is there ... But this guitar it intended
especially rock and metal, but it is possible to play the blues and some jazz
with the right settings ... versatile in my taste

On this point I have almost nothing to say my taste is a near perfect 10!

SOUNDS

-> I play mostly rock / metal so the original pickups are well suited, however,
playing a bit of everything and knowing the sound I wanted, I replaced the pickups with *
DiMarzio (in order starting from the neck: Air Norton, Vintage 54 and Steve's Special) and
there is the pure happiness!
-> I'm currently playing on a Peavey Bandit 112 but I will soon acquire a head Laboga
mr hector on which I tried the guitar, it is only of happiness: p
-> With origins microphones, the sounds are all very good, however the pickups
still quite runny compared to a DiMarzio or EMG, however, they are very good, the microphone
handle is great for bluesy solos coupled with a little micro central bright arpeggios
follies (try the radiohead's foot) single central microphone is also very
good (with some adjustments Another Brick in the wall is superb) the neck pickup coupled
gives us the central flapping sound (great for sweet home alabama) and micro
handle is great for metal and palm mutes are pretty cool!
-> I prefer no sound and do not hate no more ...

Here I put 9 because perfectionism (I insist it's still good)

OVERALL OPINION

-> I'm using it now for a year and a half and never made me wrong good (except
varnish but I repainted ...)
-> What I like most is the comfort and face I changed the pickups to get my
signature sound and I repainted it and somehow the guitar of my dreams ...
-> I have tried many model (ESP, Jackson ... etc) and this price is
the one I prefer
-> I find tremendous value for money!
-> I probably would do the same choice!
