This guitar is a high-end model, so Japan RG range. It therefore has a form "superstrate". The handle is conductive in five parts and mahogany body. It has two humbuckers and a single center. A 5-way switch and volume, one tone. It comes in a nice case with all the tools required by Floyd. It is really beautiful and the finish is absolutely flawless. The neck-through is splendid. The affected body, satin is nice.
USE
The neck is very thin, relatively large, with a very small radius, almost flat. It's very nice, as holding the instrument in general. It exudes quality design. No complaints.
SOUNDS
We arrive at the sound, and there I am less convinced. In general, the more a gain on the amp, plus Di Marzio are expressed. Overall, the sound is good, but desperately neutral, it does not have the character of an LP or a good strat. We feel the sound effects, which requires to express themselves. But if we look for a sound purist, so guitar and amp, it's pretty disappointing. Saturation is nice, but neutrality is expressed primarily on the clear sound that is not downright terrible right, dry, without heat, without personality. You really have to play music with high gain to get out something. I mostly used my Bogner XTC, which is the amp that he "stuck" best. But that does not really suit me.
NOTICE GLOBAL
In conclusion, I bought it to "see" but I did not keep long, just a few months. I enjoyed the comfort, beauty and flawless finish of the guitar, not the sound that is sorely lacking in character. It's not that it sounds wrong or that it is unbalanced, the sound quality, but too smooth, too mat, without that spark that makes you a crush on an instrument. This is especially true for clear sound.
