UTILIZATION

Level, the handle, there's no denying it, it's nice, it is neither too big nor too small, it is really comfortable from the start, even people with small hands will be in ease.
Access to acute could not be easier, the notches and set neck give a really comfortable playing in the treble.
In weight, it is clear that there is more light but it is not very heavy (less than a les paul style guitar) and is very well balanced.

SOUNDS

From the first notes, it's knock!
A good big sound, very powerful (you tell me with a emg 81 in bridge, it's normal ;-)). It is clear and precise. A guitar cut for big sound, it is very typical metal from its electronics, it will delight fans of metal of all kinds. For its clear, easy to crunch emg 81.
As for the emg 85, he released (in my opinion) a very good clear sound, very warm and round sound quite "massive". It gives very good sound.
I play a Laney head VH100R and I'm really happy with the sound that I get to go out with this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a small month now and I'm very happy, active emg's give real power while remaining very accurate.
Price / quality ratio, it's very very good stuff at a price affordable enough, the emg worth and finish is superb (see diament binding on the body in the red version).
I would do this choice with his eyes closed, no complaints. It's not a very versatile guitar, certainly, but for the big sound is a very good guitar, affordable.
