Made in Japan.
24 Jumbo Frets, 2 microphones and a simple double Seymour Duncan.
JT580 LP Double Locking 2-Point Tremolo (Floyd Rose).
5-way switch, a volume button, a tone button.
Handle end and wide enough (typical Jackson) maple and rosewood in touch.
UTILIZATION
_Manche Very enjoyable to play (very good finishes), both for rhythm and for solos.
_L'accés To acute is impecable, the jumbo frets (quite high and wide) very well finished also allow you to play with ease and very clean.
_Trés Well balanced in terms of weight and light (rather subjective to the weight).
_The Floyd and impeccable mechanical (possibly need to tighten the nuts on the buttons, or solves a cable (which I have been central to the microphone soldered, but I do not open), it is a risk on a new guitar and it's still not a grueling task at most 5 minutes will suffice).
_It Is very easy to get a good sound, the handle is right (test harmonics do not detect any problems).
SOUNDS
_The Seymour Duncan pickups are of very good quality and not Duncan Design as the model pre-update.
-This is a double SH4 micro level out enough so without falling into extreme enough in the mind vintage ideally suited for hard rock, heavy metal, but should not be the big rhythmic death, difficult to use in her clear, but perfect for distortion impecable fast solos for which he appears quite clean and very rich in harmonics, as well as the rhythm or it has a lot of grain.
The simple two-microphones are STK-S1, vintage Start type pickups (humbucker), EXCELLENT in clean or with a slight overdrive, it really feels to play on a stratum, excellent for all styles whether it's blues jazz solos or even requiring a very modern clean. These pickups are really exellent, though this might not necessarily please everyone, it's true that one might be tempted to put a small hotrail in the neck position in place of the STK-1 for a bigger sound ... but after it's a choice we must make, the value price of this guitar justify such an investment for those who désireré a more modern sound.
_Quoiqu'il Either this guitar is rather directed at the vintage sounds (which for me personally just did), after all of the amp depends on which branch ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about three months and I am fully satisfied, the value for money is really exellent (449 € chez Thomann ...) quality finisher is impeccable, the microphones very good (and are therefore even brand if you do not like you can always sell them ...
Anyway, I find this guitar really exellent.
