«  Good value for money-look »

Published on 02/16/11 at 01:37
Value For Money : Excellent
japanese production
easel lo-pro edge-2 (licensed floyd rose)
bolt-on neck 24 frets, reverse head, rosewood fingerboard inlaid with "shark teeth", rounded hoof
The frets are fairly thin
micro MSM (V7 S1 V8 original)
5 position selector
2 knobs (volume and tone)

attention = rendering glitter is nice but the method of application is rather sketchy in the corners (the tremolo cavity, backplates). Over the edges of the sleeves would have deserved a bit more polished, white, shows some irregularities and the frets a bit beyond.

UTILIZATION

Run fine, but the width is ideal for shredder, it feels no fatigue even after 3 hours of playing the guitar is light, well balanced, easy access to acute.


SOUNDS

By his side against the original pickups singularly lacking potato, it goes everywhere but without flag.
I opted for my part for this configuration:
Acute = DIMEBUCKER SH 13: Potato compensates its well lightness of the body of the guitar, harmonics very easy, its very scooped that will not please everyone ...
HS2 = medium format is a single coil but it is an electrically Humbach, very clean and clear clear sound, good dynamic
handle = Seymour Duncan SH1 59 ', clear sound very warm, very clean saturated can send solos with remarkable precision.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in 1997, I upgraded the pickups in 2010, to give it a second life. Now his song refers to its feathers, it does not go unnoticed as for its looks as for its sound.
On ads in 2011, its price is OCCAZ in 350 euros, I consider it a case at this price. Voili voilou ...
