Countdown « Scratches not too good ... ployvalente! »
Published on 07/07/12 at 12:26Signature guitar in Jackson, guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers of Fear Factory (and also bassist of the same group just before!).
Made in 2005 in Japan and more ... made for 2 years it seems (at least, say most sold new!)
The body is mahogany, the neck (24 cases) as well (but I also read that he was the model for red maple, called "red blue pearl"!), The ebony fingerboard, no mark (the I find most beautiful effect).
A single microphone, the famous EMG81 in bridge course, and one knob, one volume! Could not be more simple ...
Head "traditional stock" Jackson reversed ... with the signing of the cache trussroad COW!
Characteristics of the "red blue pearl" ... I just do not see why it would be different from mine (the black)
Mahogany body with arched table
Maple neck with 3 rooms
Ebony
24 jumbo frets
Scale: 648 mm
EMG ® 81 humbucker at the bridge
JT390 adjustable bridge with pull strings through the body
Black Hardware
I think I've been around ...
UTILIZATION
The neck is relatively thin, typical Jackson so to say.
It is fast, one would easily walk. It is enjoyable to play, and the highs are easily accessible.
The guitar is well balanced, with an average weight / lightweight (3.6 kg!).
SOUNDS
With this kind of micro (and config!), This is not done to the bagpipe.
This guitar is totally oriented metal.
Sound is pretty sharp, pretty potato what!
In his clear, it will not attack "maliciously" under penalty cruncher a tad ... but anyway, you do not buy that kind of guitar to play on the clean channel! I repeat a few words what the previous opinion, but for a good cause ... to confirm what his words!
I tested it on Peavey Ultra + ... terrible!
Excellent also JMP1 and Piranha ...
Not bad also a EVH 5150 III
Less well on a Carvin V3M ... its too fat, too thick, less incisive for my taste!
I seem to get the "burst", but I'm just a beginner confirmed! These are just my humble impressions, hey hey!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for over a year!
I already tried a bunch scratch, especially oriented big sound (a few others too, eh!). Other Jackson (DK2M) Ltd and H250 MH400, ESP horizon, Epi LP and Gibson Flying V for example.
But ultimately, I confess to having bought primarily for its looks! I find it beautiful (after, it's a matter of taste, right?). The ebony fingerboard without markers makes the guitar completely black. I just put a button knob chrome skull (see photos), which comes out very well!
The ratio Q / P is pretty good, I think! I think it exceeded the 600 new or 650 euros (to be confirmed!)
Currently she is for sale as to test other models, there is no alternative. I'm not the type to be tested 10 minutes in a shop (even if I do, of course), but nothing beats the possession of an instrument to test at home, in rehearsals, on his gear on that of friends ...
But, if I could keep it, I will do ... first for its looks, I repeat, but also because it is fun to play ...
Zique good at all Zamis!
