The following notice on an RG 370 DX "first generation" of 2004. The RG 370 DX has undergone a small facelift in early 2005, so there may be some differences from the model currently on the market.

So here we have a nice little Korean and 24 frets, black for me. Its handle, thin enough, is maple, the fingerboard is rosewood, while his little body is basswood.

About Linden (I quote):
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>The linden (basswood) is very popular because it is very cheap and light. It has a rich, glossy and soft. Widespread on all continents, its density is 0.40 to 0.50.</span>

It has 2 humbuckers in neck and the horse, and a single microphone in the middle. The micro configs are:
<ul>
Humbucker neck
Micro + micro split double handle simple middle
Simple micro environment
Micro + micro simple mid double horse split
Micro horse double split
</ul>

Add to that a volume knob, one tone (effective way), the mechanical non-blocking and of course an easel type named licensed Floyd Rose Edge Pro II.

In short, it rolls level equipment.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin enough. I like it, it depends on taste. Access to acute is correct, perhaps those with very small fingers will struggle to get the last 3 frets. In any case the horn lower leaves plenty of room for my big hands.

In terms of weight we must admit that it is not the slightest ... Being rather hefty it does not bother me too much, it says people used to the lighter guitars may not hang. Anyway this is not a dead donkey either eh! However the balance is very good, it is the right thing! And I think it&#39;s a very important point.

Let us still the "problem" of the bridge. All Floyd Rose vibrato type are known to be hardus to adjust. Since starting in my first attempt at setting personal has not been very successful Anyway, in my defense the strings were quite worn, and I&#39;m not very patient ... However the vibrato itself is of very good quality, it is perhaps not an original or a Schaller, but it is very good agreement and can meet there when I solicit (admittedly not often). It fulfills its function perfectly. So, apart from this characteristic inherent in all Floyd, the Edge Pro is pretty good.

Note that the new model on the Edge Pro II was replaced with the Edge III. Do not ask me what are the differences I do not know!

SOUNDS

The RG 370 DX has a reputation for hard-rockeuse/métalleuse. That&#39;s good, that&#39;s my style! However it is a bit simplistic to confine these two areas: it is quite capable to tackle the blues or jazz. However the pickups have a little tendency to saturate quickly fans of his ultra-clear crystal will certainly be a little disappointed. We can also blame them for a little lack of definition, that goes with it. It ontient more easily than its bold sound accurate, without having one&#39;s "dripping" eh!

As I said above we have five mic positions with a tone quite effective: those who will use it will have a rather warm palette of sounds available to them. So do not hesitate to play with the tone is one of the lessons I learned with this guitar. Others make do with the bridge pickup and the knobs in "toutafon" - perhaps the reputation metal this guitar comes from.

Note that the microphones were also changed in the current version of the guitar.

I play on a Roland Cube 30 (who said "the absolute beginner stuff"? ), Which is a nice amp modeling. The both fit well. I have not had the opportunity to play on another amp, this will be an edict one of these days ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use my RG 370 DX now for a big year: this was my Christmas 2004.

Pros:
<ul>
The look: the inlays are beautiful, long live the shark teeth! The overall look is pretty nice, especially in black like mine
Sound: I get sounds that I like is I think the main thing.
The overall quality: after a year of use everything is perfectly in place, no play anywhere, the varnish is good and all. The finish is impeccable. In short, it is, for now, the sound! Maybe go for a next edition ... </ul>

Cons:
<ul>
Microphones: they would benefit from a little more specific. Cane m&#39;handycape but not really
Weight: contreignant may be some
The key: not as visually but, but why on earth have put a white binding on the button? It&#39;s too slice with the rest of the guitar. Moreover, an ebony fingerboard would have been welcome: an all black skyscraper that would have done!
</ul>

The price / quality ratio is very good (paid € 420) is, moreover, that made me choose this guitar over many echoes heard. And yes, being a beginner, try a guitar does not do much.

Repeat this choice? Yes, definitely. But having learned to deal with a single before Floyd
