Best value: Excellent
Guitar made in Korea
Mahogany body-plate "Black Diamond"
22-in neck 3-piece mahogany boxes
, Rosewood fingerboard, Jumbo frets.
Benchmark for "points" pearly incustés with model name at 12th fret.
EMG active pickups 81.électronique -2.
Mechanical-oil bath Grover
-Tune-o-Matic and compensated saddle "Earvana"
-Black hardware, 1 volume knob and one tone control, micro switch 3 positions)

On paper, everything looks great, has noted that the mine has 2 EMG 81 and not a 81 and a 60.

UTILIZATION

The handle is super-agréable.il is wide, has a D-shape that fits nicely in the hand, it is varnished and slides perfectly.
-Access to treble is excellent because of the set neck and the shape of the guitar, you reach the box without problèmes.par 22nd cons, if you play with the guitar low enough (like me) after the 20th case , it thickens a bit ...
-The interface is what caused me to scratch problem with this guitar début.La pitch down and there was no incentive to let go of the handle pain to hit your head anywhere, with a strap Leather the problem was fixed, so due to its light weight (about the same as my Lag AF200) and his killer look, I put a 10/10 (and again, I have not spoken of his comes out of this wonder for now ...)

SOUNDS

With EMG, no surprises at the rendezvous, CA SONNE!
Played on a Hartke Piggyback through a Rocktron SilverDragon, the sound is indescribably good!
In the realm of distos, the EMG 81 is in my opinion, the sound is powerful and roi.Le hyper accurate at the same time with a grain that I like (and I think the only one not). A must!
However, in his clear, it will be dethroned by other microphones that they will sound warmer and perhaps less saturate the EMG, in contrast, in a race or even intermediate, clear audio sounds very good I find, with a little chorus that sounds very great! it's so beautiful that the last time I nearly pay a little tear by causing some arpeggios.
In short, for distos, these pickups are excellent (I'm not talking about the blues but the disto disto nasty, heavy metal at least) in the clear, the guitar has beautiful tone, but in any case the EMG 81 n ' is not known for its clean sounds ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for Christmas and I must say that I am fully satisfait.Les lifts are excellent, they take great agreement and scratching sounds of hell I could test it before because it is rare, so I bought over the internet but I'm not disappointed with my purchase, I love everything about this guitar! The price / quality ratio is good for a skyscraper of this quality and then when you're a fan of Metallica. .. ;)
With experience, this choice I would do without hesitation!
