«  Perfect guitar »

Published on 01/24/13 at 23:57
Best value: Excellent
Channel 24 cases conductor.
Khaller original easel, changed in 2000 by a Floyd Rose Original hard work after trapping.
Changed by a bridge pickup Seymour Duncan SH6.
Two simple micro (neck and middle) not replaced Fender Strat Custom Shop 1969.
Phase inverter added on Seymour Duncan humbucker.
Ebony.

UTILIZATION

Handle ideal for rock, all types of rock.
Jumbo frets a little difficult at first but after a pleasant time to adapt.
Access to acute extremely easy.
Weight a bit heavy due to the thickness of the body.

SOUNDS

Ideal for heavy distortion (Seymour Duncan SH6) and crunch on simple, especially the neck pickup tones that give very close to a strat.
Sustain a bit weak. Also used to play a Les Paul, so in terms of sustain,'m a little demanding.
I play mostly on a Marshall JVM410H + 1960A cabinet.
Also recording with Eleven Rack.
The clean sounds are not powerful enough, or present.
In effect: Eventide TimeFactor, Boss Chorus ensemble, MXR 10-band EQ, Wah Morley BAd Horsie 1, MXR EVH Phaser.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 24 years.
I spent thousands of hours and do not change.
The handle has never moved. Strength, reliability and robustness are the words that come to this guitar. As for sound, they lack a bit of personality and warmth.
Excellent value for money in terms of reliability and durability.
