UTILIZATION

the highlight of this guitar is its sleeve. very comfortable and very fast. very well built and especially well done.
stuck between strat and ibanez jpm in its form, it is basically a very nice guitar. not too heavy and good ergonomics.
guitar very versatile because of its micro configuration.
brief ... it's pretty good overall.

SOUNDS

the single pickups are not bad and is even better than a guitar is expected to price. against the dual mic is below. too garish and ill-defined. (Changed on mine)

OVERALL OPINION

we see a lot of vantage in occas really not too expensive, rarely 818, but other previous versions. I had the opportunity to try out a stick and this was very good on all its models. vantage of the 90's are generally good case. the 70's and 80's are also excellent guitar, but you will need to review the rate has increased significantly. they have become collector's items (the craze made in japan), as the VS series for example.

The +:
the handle at any point
finish
the violin

the -:
the humbucker

5-way switch 1 volume knob and two buttons pitched treble

Bolt, but sustain CARREMENT reduced (4A7 his second no effect depending on whether or not I waves)

UTILIZATION

Pleasant to handle my large hands and my crooked fingers
(Although C-shaped ca t would be better puet)
ESG a little at the 12th fret (too srr)
Access in acute without too much problem except 24me box or position the hand impose +
the size of the hoop is a little difficult for big fingers inexperienced
ergonomic shape strat nice, but heavy
we just get great sounds, but sometimes you get them

SOUNDS

A versatile mid-range, from blues to heavy metal or even a little shouting it is a nice (but fo push the amp or have a Vamp)
it sounds great VACUUM! Indeed, having a test for beginners ibanez vacuum to compare, I noticed it sounded better (not to sustain the course)
--- Paste the ear on the body for an IDE you will see that the difference between some models is striking.
With the experience I think it should be thanks to the wood, but I do not know the reconnatre
level violin, I know nothing except that all mcaniques (floyd cmpris) seem to be in tin or brass coated with a varnish dor (fragile koi), but they are qd even a lot of tuning that I saw the circus they are subjected.
The microphones should not argue, however much it sounds like she qd (after cleaning and polishing adjustable ropes with lemon juice).
why the sound come out of this guitar sound bluesy little closer, but I care far from being an expert, just a scratch but then level trs trs medium)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 2 or 3 years
I love this passage is heavy mtal (acute aggressive) to a more "fenderien" at least the possibility to move from one world to another with little effect.
I had virtually no other model essay before, it's my guitar every Premire
and I found good value for money.
for the era I found only one shop on the internet who actually sold at the price indicated by the Seller or for more 3000F

with experience I would not buy, but I fantasize about a JEM (sign steeve vai) or a white '67 reissue Flyng V

24 frets. Good!
Microphones with a lower average cache "Vantage" above.
Bridge Floyd Rose bridges with a screw .... No sound, poor quality, but like the level and tuning.
5-way switch, volume knob and 2 tone.
The channel is typed Gibson, though not as big. Button correctly pleasant finish ok, Violin more than reasonable.
guitar balanced, easy to play sitting or standing.

UTILIZATION

As said above, the violin is nice. The economy seems to have been made on the electronic and floyd.

Like all good agreement, the harmonics are in place, in short, this guitar has a sound reproduction means more but can, by changing the pickups and rewiring, become a pleasant companion.

SOUNDS

The sounds have the advantage of introducing us to the versatility of a guitar in HB 1 and 2 SC

After a split of the original HB, we come to get his vintage Fender typed.

The microphones simply fulfill their office properly.

By working the body, you get a good guitar in the end.

OVERALL OPINION

A good 5 / 10 home. a good 8 / 10 after retouching.
Although it is set very nice to play. The violin is really very good and, apart from a weight a little excessive, nothing moves.
She deserves a change of pickups, certainly, but by setting a good height and a selector for the double splitter, we have a good palette. Not to say, this is not the same settings that guitar after I purchased

It all adds just a few t dit.Je dtails, the body is mahogany with a plaque in the Saddle Gibson.L flame as a whole because it is INTERESTED amlang concepts Fender, Gibson Ibanez.Fabrication Corenne and 90s.

UTILIZATION

Channel Gibson type but thinner which is a reasonable weight and balance plus.Guitare.
Versatility as HSS configuration.

SOUNDS

Almost everything can play the "crystalline" saturation agressive.Les sounds are not bad but I personally do not like the humbucker, I find it too aggressive, too aigu.Bien RULES this guitar becomes int Ress.

OVERALL OPINION

So a mid-range guitar can become rare INTERESTED aficionados and collectors. Today it would cost much more CHRE.

Manufacturing Coren. Channel 24 cases. Vantage HSS pickups configuration. Licensed Floyd Rose tremolo. 1 volume 2 tone, 5 slecteur positions. Finishing treatment for a guitar of this price. The violin is really good in that it does not move a millimtre while I did not Epargne guitar. There is no need to connect and that often, even if we do not use the Systm locking the head.

UTILIZATION

First the handle ... Plutt long, trs fine and comfortable, suitable for fast play, Access in Aiges is good (I'm using but not mass enough to diagnose). The guitar is a bit heavy, relatively well on guard, it said everything is well balanced and enjoyable. This gives the head without breaking any of the sounds made honntes even if the action of pots of Tone is an efficiency limit. The Floyd is doing its job but is not any evidence. I may be biased in any fawn I do not like Floyd (we had one that I have to realize).

SOUNDS

I mainly play rock at large (as no one talks about pop, trs frquentable I am!). And I must admit that it lends itself well plutt. The mtalleux should look elsewhere. I play on a bandit 112 and plutt works well. Both produce simple sounds of good quality which have little envious of Fender that cost at least 300 euros more. Bass is my particulirement got. The Humbucker is against by using trs. But crystal lens such that qt when touched. The sound is electrical and therefore usable only fawn trs-time to give a color particulire, but it does not play a whole song with. The splitter is a good balance calculation for all.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought francs in 2800 (and yeah ...) There's prs decade. Rp scne train on. Trs reliable. Too just the studio (a m'enfin is always a question of level required). In my view, the strengths are the violin, the quality of the handle, the Longva. The weakness in the RSID Humbucker which really is not the height. The report frankly qualitprix seems good in view of the potentialities of the instrument.

has been a while since I am torn between the IDE to sell something else to go and that to keep from sticking and microphones again. aa t my guitar deuxime APRS having my classes on one thing closest to the tennis racket as the scratches. Thanks the quality of the violin, I started really grow. And in terms of sound, I had long enough. Not the guitar of a lifetime, but a good investment.
In retrospect, c'tait a good choice I would do.

September 2010 EDIT: I have the virtual Floyd, mouth all the cavity replaced by a strat-type vibrato, changes the shape of the body, re-finishing, and finally al microphones SP custom ... It became my main scratch! The violin is good, with good pickups it has become a new instrument, a killing! Namely, unlike the guitar of mine arvl Previous post (once the paint turns) an alder body and the so-called table Saddle Flamm n'tait that a thin veneer ...
