nice honest metal guitar
This guitar is exactly what you expect from a metal guitar - it is simple, aggressive and robust.
Pros:
- good quality build
- good Floyd Rose – holds the tuning
- good aggressive pickup
- the black satin paint looks stunning
- quiet enough
- nice shine-in-the-dark dots
Cons:
- the volume knob is like a switch on/off. You can’t really use it to gradually turn the volume on or off. Going from 100% to 50% almost makes no difference and around 25% it just turns off. Not a volume knob but a switch.
- my volume knob is a bit tilted (not a biggie)
- the paint is more sensitive than the usual high gloss paint – I already scratched mine around the guitar input.
I have made a few improvements:
- shielded all cavities with Goldo EL900 profi shield screen – now is dead quiet
- changed the volume potentiometer with a Seymour Duncan pot (seems better than the original pot)
- solved the on/off volume by soldering a Goldo capacitor 220pF (now the volume is usable)
- changed the springs system with Schaller Sure Claw – now I don’t need a screwdriver to adjust the springs – this is quite helpful if you try different tunings and different string gauges (now I am in drop A# with 62, 42, 30, 20, 14, 11 string gauges).
- changed the original strap button with a Schaller S-locks bc.
The guitar is really nice with the original items (except for the volume pot without the capacitor) but the mods described above made it even better (for my taste) at a not so high cost (729 + 100 eur)
