UTILIZATION

The handle is a highway with key scaloppée the extreme highs, the heel is tapered for improved access to acute and the body has a Chanfrain under the handle further facilitating access to the entire set.
the guitar is very heavy and more comes with Dunlop straplocks to ensure and prevent a fall.
on the EMG of two possibilities: either branch, and it sounds serious, or you dig a bit o branch to configure fontion amp and effect of the scratches and it sounds really serious.

SOUNDS

I play in a punk rock and all styles outside the group (for hard rock satriani technique, jazz, rock, funk). I had long been convinced that the EMG was not reserved to the metal: I was right, it sounds great and everything is well set amp and effects.
I for one branch in a multi effects Boss GX700 MIDI controlled by a FCB1010 and then into a Hotrod Deluxe Fender amp for clean sounds and a Marshall JCM900 for saturation. And as you do not have to doubt it: the clean sounds are clear and ..... saturation is saturated, wow awesome! its clear to handle the 89 sounds very bie especially jazzy arrangements (the woods are selected for many), the bridge is 81 to bite for solos to satriani (especially his pieces is that I work in technique) and the SA allows the split of 89 and the combination makes clear sounds clear.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month and believe me, the challenge was not easy for her because I also have a Lag The Beast Custom, a Fender Deluxe Fat Start US and a Gibson Les Paul Standard. and she really tapper in the eye in terms of aesthetic and question his ear. Nothing to say it is versatile, nothing to do with ESP or LTD or Schecter and Washburn ... its true competitor is the Vigier Excalibur Ultra but the price is even higher.
this one is € 2400 is very expensive but very justified, after many of the scholarships to more moderate it remains the standard very well also, but less luxurious.
this choice I referrer two or three times rather than miss such a scraper

Made in France, Bédarieux, September 21, 2004 ...

I put 9 because we can always do better, although there is almost perfect, lol!

UTILIZATION

On the handle, both fine and consistent, it is fast, the ebony fingerboard is particularly enjoyable. The Canadian maple provides a feeling of fluidity. The last boxes are scalopées rendrent for the bends easier. Access to treble facilties with beveled heel. Furthermore, I find the handle - and the rest of the Violin - particularly easy to solve ... which is an asset.

The contoured shape provides superb handling, ergonomics and finish are excellent ... The weight is reasonable (although these are solid wood) as it is rather flat. I find this really racy Arkane.
This guitar is fitted with Dunlop strap locks, well done!
The vibrato is very good agreement, it is necessary nénamoins take the time to adjust to not having a noise nuisance.

Negatives: the selector seems fragile and not very practical (but fun), my model on the springs of the tremolo echo (I had to ease this problem with the foam). So -1

SOUNDS

Already, it sounds very good vacuum, which bodes well and once connected, I took a slap on the density of sound and dynamics delivered by the active pickups! In addition, luxurious wood bring warmth, fullness and sustain (mahogany thank you).

oriented muscular style, this lag, very versatile, is no less subtle means of various combinations of pickups (very clean and each having its personality):
The neck pickup is a true happiness (in addition there is splittable), fat and warm
the micro environment of the actual sound of slamming Fender and modulates other microphones in combination.
The micro chevalent is extremely precise and punchy, but may lack a bit of foundation in the bass, it is easily corrected with the amp, and then sends it! This micro grain "right" and modern (hence its side a bit "cold", some say), is made in the register provided for large saturations. less suited to other styles, anything with a good set of things we get nice. (-1). In fact, it can be very saturated tones while maintaining a very good definition.
The active electronics meet admirably the woods and the violin, delivering a very good sustain, and NOT a hair breath, even in single coil!

You can have sound from the lens to the big snarling distortion through the blues and rock. that's what I wanted. I'm thrilled!
Powerful and refined, I appreciate his musicianship ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar a few months ago and I do not regret having paid 1,400 euros (promo before the new models + + small chips behind resumption old guitar). It is a high-end guitar that provides the level of quality sounds that can be learned. In search of a high-end guitar, I tried other guitars as in Vigier Excalibur, the Bumblefoot (who deceived me), a PRS (see!), Before falling for it This ... I have a soft spot for since my Lag Rockline metal master!
I play in a rock band but I play different styles (jazz, blues, rock, shred / metal)
The value for money, as I'm concerned, is excellent (as it was sold to its output 2400 euros). For cons, I find that new models are very expensive (almost 3,000 euros) when they have the titanium reinforcements and more ...

In sum: very good violin, ergonomic, dynamic, harmonious and beautiful sounds!

Edit 20/02/2009: I finally got tired of active pickups and I have mounted as the new Dimarzio Arkane 3000 (Air and Air Norton area):
Here are two videos to give you an overview of grain obtained ...
