UTILIZATION

Commenons by beginners. When you see it for real, it is truly aware of its beauty ... I blank. Then when taken in hand the first thing you'll notice is its weight ultra-Lger (not that I like guitars particulirement lgres good but when we do concerts is less puncturing). When I started to play on empty I won t immediately.
It is gnialissime, the handle is very clever and quick, without being too flat, square shape Plutt. You can play open chords without either discomfort, instead. The handle, painted white like the rest of the body and is painted very comfortable for me.
CASC to treble perfectly-thanks to the race driver. The pitch 25.5 gives a sense of space (as used to the tune of 24.75 Gibson) and the button is very wide. This is ebony and glides really well for the bends. The jumbo frets really facilitates the harmonics and tapping, but for the slides is hotter: P
At the right hand, I love this type of bridge that makes the hand is raised relative to the body, not like with Floyd are being played with the hand very close to the body. It is not gn by knobs.

SOUNDS

The thing that surprises when the branch is the sound clear. Gnial. The neck pickup is very nice, calm, balanced. In the bridge position it is not too aggressive. But then it is the intermediate-position the highlight of the guitar. The sound is crystalline, chattering, bright, it really looks like a Start, with the warmth of the humbucker is very pleasant. Longer need to split the pickups. Lamp with an amp, a small chorus, you can really have fun and play styles very ruffed. She made me rediscover the clean.

Then, saturated sound. The is another story. One would think that with a mahogany body and Seymour 59 'would sound pretty hot, its more like a Gibson, but not really. It remains nevertheless very Jackson and very metal. Not many mediums. But it is big, powerful, precise, sharp and it feels a "grit" in the sound that I'm clean amps metal upscale. The sustain is very long, perfect for me.
And when you share a solo on the boxes you feel the sharp precision of sound, super pleasant. This also allows the two strings ringing treble always empty. She really has a good grain.

OVERALL OPINION

I availing oneself of this guitar for a few months and I am very satisfied. What I like most is the clean sound with both pickups and also the grip which is what I seek. The only small thing to me is the lack of good mids but that's normal for a Jackson.
In fact this guitar I'd never tried before ordering, as it came out and we could not find it in stores in France. But I knew roughly what to expect, given his SPECIFICATIONS on the net.
In addition I tried the oncoming models. Speaking of a, I tried a lot: Jackson SL3, rr3, dk2t, dk2m, Gibson SG reissue 61 '(which I also believe but that is more CHRE).
The report is very qualitprix intressant, because almost one wonders what use to buy U.S.. Me, I pay 960 euros on dv247, including postage and no suitcase.
It's a good guitar, but certainly not for beginners that will suit all styles of guitar playing and approaching the metal looks good versatility.
I probably would do this choice may be, except for a sg.
