« A good scratch metal »
Published on 05/20/13 at 00:41Made in Japan.
Floyd rose bridge. Flat handle 22 boxes.
2 humbucker pickups Jackson
1 micro switch. 2 volume knobs and one tone knob.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, you feel you can play it fast. This is the opposite of a handle LP for example (which has other advantages).
Access to acute is not a diffculties, but that's where the shoe pinches. Guitar made for metalheads, but also shredders then why are there only 22 boxes? Memory, take the Professional series for 24 cases.
Sound: it is very difficult to get a nice clear sound without the bass does come too fat sound. Playing a lot on the volume knobs, it is doable, but you lose the respondent microphones.
on the other hand, this guitar has a distinct advantage when you attack the big sound distortion. I made the comparison with a Warlock Ibabez 1993 and 1997 (both humbucker) and the result is final. The jackson crushes its top competitors hand.
For cons, I find it a bit heavy, it is quick to break your back if you play it for an hour.
SOUNDS
I played guitar for 20 years and now I am much more keyboardist, so it does not correspond to my expectations (now I make ambient electronica), but having made of metal for all my years of scratching, it was perfect for my style.
I played with a Marshall 65R and sometimes with a Vox AC30 and a Boss Me-50 effects.
If the tone knob is cut into playing palm-muting, it really leaves very nice sounds.
Attention to the mechanics that move a little. Although the tuning is done at floyd, mechanical take a little game with age.
For someone who makes live tunings (E, D), it can cause concern.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since 2005 and I will sell it under any pretexts. I intend to also buy me a kelly Jackson to complete my set (and even if I do not play metal).
I had a stat 'Fender, Ibanez, a warlock and I also played on a Godin and a gibson LP.
I like its shape, ergonomics and the dish is a real solid handle highway.
I do not like the clear sound a bit hard to get and lifts that move a little, let alone handle 22 boxes.
With hindsight, I would not hesitate one second before I buy one. With Orange TH 30C, it must tear everything.
