«  A good animal. »

Published on 05/25/11 at 10:59
Made in Indonesia
24 frets
Pickups: 2 Jackson CVR2 Humbrucker
Fixed bridge.
2 knobs (volume and tone).
Maple neck.
Rosewood fingerboard.
Form: Randy Rhoads.
Alder body.
Finish: Black.
Traversing ropes.
Gibson type three-position selector.

So it's not too bad, it avoids the low end floyd. The strings are traversing a good point. I would have preferred a maple fingerboard, but with what we have done (and then taste and color).
The only downside that I found missing is the two volume knobs, which prevents the use of the selector as Killswitch or even variations in volume that I like to use.

9 / 10 the price is not bad. And the electronics is not yucky?

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
He is. Late but not too broad, flat, but not icky typed shred for agreements with a fairly low action. I walk over, it's a pleasure. However it takes a little time to adapt.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Yes and no. Ergonomics is not too bad, form is superb.
However the guitar is very light and therefore picnic nose. As for the seating position is by far my favorite (and worse is class: P) but the jack under the horn the smaller force to use Jacks bent and not necessarily pleasant. And playing up a bit tiring if you play a lot on the first boxes.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
It is just excellent despite a heel a bit crude. This handle is a direct route to the 24th box, I could even play on an eventual 28th box to tell you.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
3.Sonorités see, it depends on what one seeks.

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
I bought this guitar for the metal: thrash, heavy, melo, speed, metalcore.
In this register it suits me perfectly. The sounds are perfect for Trivium, Metallica found easily, you catch Iron and Skid Row by fiddling a bit, playing with Ozzy, one begins to Malmsteen - thanks to the handle and microphones fairly accurate - if we add the right settings.
Drop D in this guitar is a treat!

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
It gets very distorted sound (nan swear ...) and very warm.
Wholesale Metal: distos are punchy and with a good amount of distortion. Thus one can easily take to Matt Heafy Corey Beaulieu (Trivium) or Dimebag / Heatfield. In contrast, artificial harmonics do not go alone.

In less bulk metal: crystalline sounds are enough and good enough overdrive, which allows you to play the Iron Maiden or Skid Row. Nevertheless, they remain perhaps a little too loaded disto.

In the clear: it will drip pan. One feels the lack of warmth, roundness, sounds saturate quickly. With modeling it still manages to hit a lil funk / blues, but on the lamp is much less obvious. At the same time it is not for those styles that you buy the shovel eh.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
My home on a Line 6 Pod 2.0, if I played on the Blackstar and a ENGL. I liked the ENGL, the sound is powerful but its slight lack of precision spring by more cons. I add the more often a delay and reverb for neoclassical plans and obtains an appropriate sound. Otherwise, I cut the middle, volume up, and go to the New!

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
I really appreciate the saturated and distorted sounds, but sounds less clear (to play Still Loving You is not very practical).

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
About 1 year, with two hours per day on average.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes, at Ibanez, Lag, Epiphone is the one I preferred (especially since I got to 150th in occas'). And then the guitars Metal Knight to determine at what price, Has it not that much.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
I absolutely love the round, flat, thin and wide, distorted sounds and the sustain is very good for a bolt-on neck, and the form which throws: D
I like the sounds less clear and the location of the jack relatively unbearable.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
The value for money, I know in nine, there's maybe it means something better.
However on occasion (where these guitars abound), there's way to make very good business:)
I think I would do this choice indeed.
