- The name of the exact number of mine is 2ST HM (for hand-made handmade =)
purchased in December 2005 (700 € with a huge new good sturdy case), manufactured in
China.
- 22 frets, 2 humbuckers, Grover 18 / 1 (Buzz Feiten Tuning System).
- Floyd Rose style tremolo Washburn.
- 2 volumes, 1 tone, 3-position selector.
- Channel V rather large, not too thick, good grip (although mine are
small hands ... of course ...).

- I put 7 / 10 because the config is exactly what I wanted (floyd + 2 doubles), good
violin, nickel finish and general appearance but the vibrato and microphones Washburn
well ... at least -3.

UTILIZATION

- The neck is nice and well done, really suits me well.
- Access to acute ben my faith, really easy.
- While it is clear that the "big head" of the beautiful all the time lean
before. I feel the need to "catch up". Some move the anchor point
the home front strap, I'd rather not. It is a blow to take, rather
I find compelling, which may not suit everyone. In addition this guitar
is heavy so the interface is "special" does one say. Personally, playing for the form
a lot in my purchase so I think a guy who "flashes" on this kind of form, well
There will be the efforts to carry on his back, because there are better and more
comfortable anyway. Now the guitar is played very well while sitting without the weight
and with a more stable it is already better, but I play that up then ..
- The cash vibrato quite well, it's true. But like any vibrato in this range
price, there is not reversible, it deserves to be replaced. For a guy like me who would
is not too much, it is very good, but I fear for shredders wear over time.

- I put the average because you can see so many qualities that défaults.

SOUNDS

- It is made to make noise, big riffs and leads infernal ...
- I use it with my head all-tube Crate and my Crybaby. The original pickups, I
thought yuck, so I replaced with a Dimebucker and SH 2.
Now this is terrible scrapes. Low unearth the dead, the leads are
down the posters and other drappeaux! The sound is pretty clear with the SH 2 if
tinker a little but the registry is still pretty exclusive. This scratching all mahogany
Seymour Duncan and good, well I understand better ... even if the Dimebag guitars to him
were still 1000 times better (it must be said).
- Once again for all the big record distortion, this is scratching, sounds
light can be fun but not at the top for versatility.

- I put 7 / 10 because it seems imperative to change the pickups to allow this
scratch to really express themselves. Once properly equipped, I find it fatal.

OVERALL OPINION

- I've had more than a year, and yet really'm having.
- What I like most about this guitar is its great sound, the handle and instrument making
really nice finish, and the form that I love (to each his own).
What I like least is its weight as the head diving pool.
- We must change the pickups, think before buying. It is heavy and can be annoying,
think about it before buying. If you answered two times "do not care", run to buy this
guitar.
For three reasons: 1) Put on good microphones and the scratching of good qualities is
hell!
2) It is quite rare and will soon stop production, instrument
"Collector".
3) The guitar Dimebag!
- I do not know what is going on in the competition, it must surely be some
interesting stuff for this price point. There is also the ST PRO at about € 1400, with
set neck, and SH 59 Dimebucker home, but I find it too expensive. If only there
Floyd had a real kind Original or Schaller but no, it is the same as that of the
2ST. With almost the same config microphones, the total cost came back at 850 € is
much cheaper than the PRO.
- If you're a fan of Pantera and Dimebag is a MUST.
- The price / quality ratio is average (I paid € 700), in light of the information to change. But
it is possible to find new to € 600 now so good ... And then I find
while still too expensive anyway.

- To summarize this scraper is good qualities, some things are changing and
after it should not disappoint you. A book to "Pantera Addicts" for!
