Value For Money :
Excellent
Guitar made in Indonesia. I think she is no longer manufactured, but I'm not totally sure!
Technical
Body: Agathis, Flamed Maple top
Neck: 3-piece maple crossing
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Frets: 24 XJ frets
Scale: 25.5 "(648 mm)
Pickups: 2 humbuckers EMG-ESP LH-300
Controls: Volume, Tone with push / pull, pickup selector 3 positions
Bridge: Tune-o-matic
Series H
I specify that the binding is very successful on this guitar (at least on mine).
Whether around the body, the neck or head. It does not bleed, no missed! For a guitar of this price, I just wanted to point out ...
Benchmarks are pearlescent.
His head "banana" is nice I think (this is only my opinion, eh!)
UTILIZATION
The neck is very thin! (Too?) ... Not even if not! It is very pleasant to slide, and 20th boxes are accessed quite easily.
It is well balanced and lightweight (3 kg).
The sound is downright good! There is a good potato in microwave bridge. I do not know if there is a difference between naming ESP-EMG and EMG-HZ, but having the two on two different guitars, I find them quite similar!
SOUNDS
I play a lot of metal in general, this guitar is made for that at the base.
In his clear, the neck pickup is de rigueur for example arpeggios. Bridge pickup a tad garish for clean, but the tone knob can arrange all this. Anyway, I do not use this microphone clean (I do not even use this guitar in clean
Distortion in the bridge pickup "sends" good. It is fairly well balanced and less crystalline than EMG81 I find.
I love the sound of this guitar on my JMP1. But it happens everywhere else.
Otherwise, I do not like the solos on the neck pickup with distortion ... I feel it's too fatty and it dribbles ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost 3 years, especially at home (I use them in other rehearsals). This is what I lug around all the time on vacation for gratouiller some nights with headphones! She is constantly given Eb and / or dropped.
I have for sale several times, then removed, etc ... Finally, I do not regret that no one is wanted!
The price / quality ratio is really remarkable, at least Cygnus! I do not know at all what his new price ... if someone could inaugurate the fofo to clarify!
I would do it no choice, because with experience, I will need something else, try other different models, etc ...
I hope this opinion will be useful!
In summary, this is an excellent mid-range guitar, to begin to "metallized" his game .. but not that!
