For an entry-level is serious.

UTILIZATION

The handle is surprising finesse, you can catch it with the whole hand along the entire length and we would not even realize!
We are thoroughly in the spirit Kirk Hammett so we can accelerate it, access to treble is a bit worse than on an M1000 but still much better than one stratum, and is valid on 24 cases, no problems so significant, no need to twist and more body-neck junction is beveled ...
Heavier than a Start, it has a great balance, the handle is very light, it remains as it is the hook without imbalance.

SOUNDS

With the original pickups, it sounds good in distortion but its clear that snoring, impossible to leave a pure ...
I recommend to equip it with EMG-HZ H4 (which I did after 6 months)
or of Dimebuckers, (no active electronics) to max out a harmonic strength of this guitar!
When doped it kills! (Tested on lots of amps, it still has its character furious rage and anger)
Then I set up a hair pulling, 9 / 46, not too much because the handle is very thin and even set with onions, I fear that lack of violence, it is flexible ...
But good like that, we Riffe easy, it's a good formula!
It sounds on any amp crossover to date (at the peavey 15w triamp (h'n'k) via the marshal)
The sound is clear and scathing sweet melodies become worrisome, chords sound well balanced and well defined, it leaves the mix without worry arpeggio, how terrible!
In distortion sounds you can play any Megadeth and all parties Kirk of Metallica, it is made for this, besides it sounds terrible with a cry baby, happiness!
As against that will be good for those who seek the sound of James Hetfield, unless he stick a Boss MD2 ...
To go one step further, blues solos take on a color concern, the note played is accompanied by strong harmonic and very pretty, you listen to sound, or rather whining ...
To summarize a little, she is violent and is a preferred place for soloists who want to sound hollow and potato Kirk, while being able to play melodic passages tinged with mystery ... I love the scratches!

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2004 as a scratch "every day", it ages well and even Bonnifait like a fine wine ...
As I said above the handle end (thinner than Jackson!) Is flexible, it responds by changing the season, but once adjusted depending on the season, nothing moves and you can have fun without a second thought to the tremolo!
This scratch is enormous and a very small price (less than 400Eu), it has the look and with a bit more it was a sound that disconnects if it would do it again so, in fact I would like to have another for the grant in DGCFAD ...
