SSH configuration
Wilkinson bridge, Sperzel locking mechanical, nothing happens even when using the vibrato (a little is not a Floyd!)
1 volume, 1 tone (which begins to sputter after 4 months of use)
A 5-way switching
Very easy to use then.

UTILIZATION

What can I say? Basically, it's still far from what we can imagine better!
The handle is very nice (the frets are medium), I was afraid to return to a handle with a profile of strato (I began to swear by the handle of my JS-1200), finally, once we took him in hand, one does not want to let go!
Access to Acute pretty good with a little heel planed. The guitar is very light (basswood + maple table)
One branch, and was sound in all config microphones.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for what I was looking for a versatile guitar, with sounds clear slap to the rhythmic funk (position 2 and 4) and a big popping sound (position 1) (careful, it does not sound very metal anyway!) For the chorus. I play jazz fusion, and it should be fine.
After, of course, everything depends on the amp and effects used. For my part, a Fender Supersonic and a rack of effects including excellent results in the following key features:
- TC Electronic Booster (clean sound) + TS-9 (soft saturation) or DS-1 (it sends the wood) for the chorus. With the chorus in Jacques, it sounds so beautifully.
I hardly see how this guitar may disappoint on directories funk, rock, fusion.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I should buy this guitar before. Yes it's expensive, but what comfort, and what sound.
I regret (just) than the absence of a Floyd to reap a little overboard (there can only grow, it remains a Start!). There is also a pity that we did right at this price level than a simple 3-ply white pickguard (they do not offer more wonders on order) and plastic knobs (volume and tone) It's been a little cheap, as the neckplate not engraved.
However my best guitar to date (and I've had and tried a few!).
