UTILIZATION

Handle very nice with a good grip, it is fluid, the hit is nice. Ebony button. The radius compound facilitates the agreements in early round, the phrasing in bottom of the inning.
Ergonomics is average since we're on a kelly form, so here leans toward the head, but there are several solutions to that!
It is lightweight, thinner than the model Jackson
Easy access to acute

SOUNDS

Its bold, powerful, full, catchy and very precise
I play on a Blackstar HT-5 with 2x10 "and 4x12 simulator" to save
Originality on the neck pickup: ideal for the game with a clean sound even if it is not the objective of this guitar is its versatile side.
The neck pickup does not go into heavy distortion, it accepts the light and crunch, a change to a pro track DiMarzio is possible but for now no use
Mahogany brings out all the qualities of Jazz-Blues Seymour Duncan TB4.

This guitar is oriented metal, melodic jazz-metal, but is conceivable style, shape and the neck-rest still very typical.

OVERALL OPINION

Beautiful oil finish
Cheaper than U.S. custom shop, plus monitoring during manufacturing, the ability to choose every detail, an excellent luthier listening, reactive book home.

FYI, a very attractive price range, between 1500 and 2500 you have a personal guitar of high quality, you can leave the USA production models aside ....
