Mine is a left handed model made in Japan. I bought it in 1999.
24 frets, rosewood handle, very fine / quick
Vibrato Jackson licensed Floyd
Config H / S / H, microwave jackson just rotten
1 volume 1 tone
List Price 4400 francs at the time (I remember it was I who paid!)
UTILIZATION
The handle is great! was my second guitar. I have since tried a few guitars in the same price range and I never found the same inning. Really late ... delicious!
The heel is that access to the top is not acute. the shredders prefer a neck through but left at that price should not dream ...
Weight level, I still find it cumbersome. It's a real man what guitar, not an Ibanez ... (not kidding!). It was well in hand, we feel it is solid.
The floyd is not too bad. ATEST he showed signs of weakness but it is changed, and then after 8 years of use is normal ...
The limiting factor = mics! I talk about below ...
SOUNDS
I play metal. I used it with a Peavey Studio Pro, a Bandit and now a rack Tubefex / Piranha and Classic 50/50.
The central micro-air was cool but the output level really low compared to others. The bridge pickup makes a lot either. A little EMG 81 in the mind (much treble) but quite rough, however: to cut the metal! The neck pickup was too pretty and full of serious (due to its position probably ...).
Very typical metal guitar.
Jai changed the pickups for a kit and an EMG SA ZW. it was worth it! this guitar has great potential! Before selling it to change the microphone and you will wear until trussroad! lol!
With EMG, I will because for 9 the total price (guitar OCCAZ + micro), the sound is really there!
OVERALL OPINION
I have 8 years. The pickups are changed for 2 years. I will keep for life!
I love the handle and the sound with the EMG.
At the time I had not have much choice being left-handed. But I have no regrets.
Value / price ratio, even in our days OCCAZ. I do it again this choice with his eyes closed. Besides, if she had returned the soul (like broken neck ...), I will find the same from OCCAZ!
In short buy this! especially if you are left, it's a safe bet. Beware though: it seems that the end of series was made in Korea. Check the small sticker behind the handle (if there still is!)
