Sabre Series, Solid Body, 22 frets
Vribato Floyd Rose (and therefore joint double up / down)
I have the color version DFV (Deep Purple Flat)
This is by far the most beautiful color I've seen a guitar decorated!
A dark purple, simple, and yet we can not miss! forget nor elsewhere.
2 humbuckers, 1 single (see photo)
5 way switch.
2 pots: volume and tone
UTILIZATION
Flat handle, RG.
Ie nothing to do with the Strat-type sleeves, rounded.
Very enjoyable to play, slides and bends without problems!
The height of the cargo is low, which allows a fast game, especially for slides and legato.
The weight is fairly balanced. We can not say whether it's a featherweight, but it really is not the problem.
Moreover, the form "Sabre", whose main characteristic is to be refined on the ends of the body makes it very comfortable to play standing.
For Floyd, we like it or not ...
Personally, I can not do without!
And even if it is true that it adds some difficulty to change the strings, the "default" is far outweighed by the possibility it offers (both in sound stagecraft => cf crossroads with Steve Vai!)
SOUNDS
Its level, the original pickups are unpretentious, yet a real quality, with its very hot and deep clean and distinctive rock / hard rock pickups overdrive.
I never use the single central microphone.
By lifting 9-46, the harmonics sound very easily!
(Almost better than on my JS1200!)
I would say that its sounds are mostly suited to solo-ing.
OVERALL OPINION
This guitar really an exceptional handling of Sabre from the form.
Excellent sound for my taste. (Uh, my ears!)
Bought new in 2001, I will never sell it! Guitar is my heart! my baby, my precious!
Value for money outstanding: 600 € at the time.
