I repeat the same description posted here waiting to get more details: the guitar was Consignment, and the store did not have complete information. I will edit later.

"It Warmoth kit was assembled by the workshop of Alexander (Orsay), the maple body gives a long sustain, the neck has a C finish pearloid celtic cross and corianskull, all with a rosewood fingerboard much for. violin part, the microphones are SP Custom lite Savage Beast in the neck and bridge position. These powerful pickups are made for distortion, fat while remaining accurate. The middle pickup is a classic Fender Lace Sensor giving access to more sounds "Vintage." To further expand the sonic palette, the microphones are mounted in opposite phase and a push / pull activates an acute filtering. superstrate This is unique because of its design and aesthetics. "
According to the seller, it is in an assembly that affects at least the 2000th.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable in C, with a pretty amazing finish. A real highway, although it is a little wider than my previous superstrate (Ibanez).
The string action is very close to the handle, I love it! It was an essential item for me (I had a Schecter Ultracure whose handle was also a model of comfort and efficiency - and this one is even better).
The instrument is comfortable to wear, balanced, and sounds pleasantly empty.
I knew a lot of instruments, but none have brought me as much pleasure from game one week before taking this guitar, I had the opportunity to try a telecaster custom shop and a Les Paul to ( it seems) 4000e. Well I prefer this superstrate is to say the quality of Warmoth parts! (And work behind violin).
The maple body brings some weight, but I've seen much worse on a strat.

SOUNDS

SP Custom pickups are my most interesting that the Lace Sensor perspective (which is very good).
They have a character that I like: very accurate, powerful, but also warm. And even in the clear I love these as much as a simple desktop humbucker (except that split they blow more than the latter). The electronics of my guitar is quite complex, and allows pleiiiin different things to the point that I was losing the first day. Versatility, but the character still, I love it! These pickups go great with this guitar. They respond really well when playing with the volume, it's pretty awesome! The "tone" is impeccably his job and I like to play with (this is the first time one of my guitar), and enables the opposite phase. The store was about a treble filter, but I am sure he is rather independent to split the two SP Custom. And split, they sound beautifully!
I do not put the maximum score, however, since SP Custom informed me that their "Savage Beast" deluxe version existed, and they were well above the "Lite". I almost find it hard to believe, however, that I had just Bare knuckle and who preferred the character of the "Lite". This guitar deserves the best, I will buy him a kit of two Deluxe soon as possible ;)

In any case, this configuration is quite well with the chosen wood, which helps to sustain and precision sound. A smart choice.

OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for a guitar "favorite" that can accompany me for long, and do not suffer any compromise. After looking I realized that monitor ads assembled from parts Warmoth guitars was a good idea. Initially, I had set a budget of 800 euros. I found particularly interesting announcements in the 600th (a TV and a Stratocaster), but I agreed to spend 450 euros more (on occasion) for a guitar I loved the finish (white superstrate with a plate celluloid flashy wheel beautiful, and with a vinyl sticker on the body that I can remove it, but I really enjoy), and configuration.

In the end, I end up with a guitar that inspires me and gives me more pleasure than any other guitar has never given me. Finish, comfort worthy of a custom shop, at least. The advantage is the originality and the fact that this guitar is like no other.
In fact ... I think this guitar and me is for life! (And for my next guitar will continue to look at the side of Warmoth).
