Mahogany for the body and the handle 22 boxes, table (a real table) and dappled maple rosewood fingerboard. A classic in a brand that shall remain nameless, but I would give just the initials PRS ...;-)
Fixed bridge very well designed. 2 doubles Duncan / Ibanez split with central selector 3 positions. Rated quality of wood and finishes nothing wrong it's clean and well done. Korea has really progressed at all levels and is up to the Japanese (and Americans at once ... some would say ill-intentioned).

UTILIZATION

The neck is incredible! Pile-hair between the classic Ibanez and PRS or Les Paul. Very fluid, easy to play but not too late. Access to acute is total. The weight is very reasonable. Sustain a vacuum is already very significant. It smells good when you go to plug ...

SOUNDS

... And here we are not disappointed! Finally, unless you love the sounds cold and clinical. It sounds very hot, slightly runny but rather as a Les Paul than a boxer neurasthenic Not too rock ... It releases what. So if you have a game like surgical Petrucci, hop, change and two DiMarzio pickups directly to the cleat to find a grain that is good. It leaves a skyscraper to kill a very reasonable price. If you like the rock one can to the old (Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Santana and friends), or you are looking for a warm sound without canceling your next vacation in Berck beach, then change anything ... It's strong and moves in my TSL100 is monstrous. 9 because the pickups may not be suitable for everyone, but frankly I quibble ...

OVERALL OPINION

Bon ben like a lot. It will not be my main guitar (my 7-string 7620 is unbeatable), but it is a serious competitor for the title of value for money the most breathtaking in its class ... When I think of what I had there 10 years for the same price ... ripolin two boards painted with ropes mounted on an easel that could as easily have been surrounded by barbed wire ... well I think the guys that start today with such instruments they have no excuse for not at 5 or 10 years ... in short it makes him gravely and rather than dream of a PRS I prefer to have two like that and to go on holidays to the fat on the beach this summer ... There's no 11 as a note?

Edit 3/18/2007: Okay, well, in fact, if ... It almost dethroned my RG7620, I use 3's currently the guitar in particular: my two Ibanez Les Paul Gibson and equipped with an air zone and air norton (tearing two microphones for that matter) ... Well, the SZ is my little guitar as the basis for 80% of what I do ... Next month, we move on DiMarzio's also this one: acute air area (the microphone is just insane in real life), and I try a different neck pickup for a pleasant change from my other configs ... In short, I use for almost everything and it sounds as good as more expensive guitars really ...
