Guitar US brand
Channel 24 frets
Two microphones twofold: an EMG 81 in bridge and EMG 85 neck side (active electronics)
Floyd Rose Bridge
One volume, one tone knob and a microphone
Set neck satin

Instrument comes with a flight case quality (very light and a rock solid)

UTILIZATION

The handle is beautiful and very enjoyable to play (I also have a Charvel has the same type of handle, that of the jack is a little thicker, but a better quality wood and it shows in the eye as well as in touch).
The access is through the highs (the heel which is screwed on the handle is angled), but the last boxes are not really playable (no space between the frets for the fingers) and it is still thicker than race driver.
The ergonomics of the guitar is excellent (standard form stratabound) and impeccable balance, handle heavy balance well the instrument.

SOUNDS

Agrees fairly well to my style of music (prog rock with a penchant for his California).
Connected to a Triax, a mesa 2x50 and two marshmal speakers, the sound is beautiful.
The sounds are very clear obtained for micro serious, few personalities and you have to sing the strings for the sound, but rendering is very natural.
I'm a little disappointed on the variety of microphones (the differences in sounds are marked but less versatile than my Charvel allowing poisitions 5 and 5 sounds radically different).
The pickups are very precise and incisive, its very clean, almost too much when you are not used.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 3 months, I do not play quasiement more about Charvel (unfortunately too fast you get used to luxury !!!!)

Most
beautiful deco (snakeskin, beauup we like or not at all, it's my choice and a dream for a long time)
the handle is a regal
the pickups are very precise and generates very little noise (micro ceramic)
The Floyd Rose allows a view of the agreement even in time of war
Ergonomics and perfect balancing

The -
lacks a bit of versatility and warmth to the microphones (one can not have everything ...)
very high price for this model in snakeskin (1500 Euros with all the US inconveignents to bring it back and just over 2800 Euros in France, it speaks for itself!)
The model I had had a potentiometer twisted and turned in a vacuum as the label does not really work since the purchase of the brand by Fender)

I played a lot of guitar before this one and the model is by far my favorite.
In this kind of guitar is the ultimate weapon, it's almost the quest of a lifetime.
