I know the Rocket II, but that I should be the same, if not the form (threats at Gibson no doubt)
So theoretically, mahogany and alder COTP, fixed bridge, 3-position selector, volume and tone peculiar since it appears to assay the marriage of each of the coils 2 humbuckers: a kind of progressive split.

Must assume the look (especially in black and white for allergic Scorpions) ...
It has the look of the flying V

UTILIZATION

The handle is reminiscent of the paul (ie distance from the flying V), ^ ^ ot pleased vintage.
Can we do better access to acute issue?
Lighter than a gibson (because of alder for the body) but it is well balanced.

SOUNDS

It is obvious that with such a look, it is matter in the universe gibson sound. There are fat, but the sound is more defined, less loaded down media, we have much more attack. I did not check, but it seems to me that Duesenberg had a tuning fork-type fender, which explains the side of the punchy guitar.
However, I read in the press that it was a guitar-oriented metal ...
Disagree: it is a guitar that deserves to be played in styles ranging from blues to heavy rock. Electronics is a marvel that gives, if not the versatility of a huge range of sounds at hand. Lovers of the British blues boom, Hendrix will be over the moon.

OVERALL OPINION

I put him 7 because I have not had time to buy it (it was about 1000 euro) and in addition it was only available in black and white. Model out of the catalog, but I bet the Rocket II is as well. Even if the new asymmetrical design makes it even less attractive to my taste. Excellent guitar.
