ESP MIRAGE CUSTOM 1987 factory in Japan, vibrato unknown brand screwed maple neck, rosewood keys 24 frets, one humbucking neck pickup EMG 81 not original, one volume, one tonalitbr /> body alder
My changes: EMG 81/85 laying of two and a slecteur 3 positions

USE

absolutely fabulous run, a single default: rosewood keys, I'm a fan of ebony. Very good ergonomics, very easy access to acute = a highway between a fender and a round neck Ibanez wizard, very close to the sleeves esp / ltd current but no jumbo frets. Very beautiful rosewood and also very nice quality varnish and maple. The sound is excellent even empty. Played on a Blackstar HT5 and marshall plexi. The clean sounds are good, the legend of the so-called bad emg clean sound is false, but it is not a 57 GB C obviously. I expect to have the money to make an identical handle ebony keys.

SONORITS

sound: good for rock and metal, they are emg, but the alder body adds shine compared mahogany. the clean sound is crystalline when gently attack and if we hit hard, it is easy to crunch on the 81. Many of magnitude, absolutely not cold (legend has a hard life). The EMG are better than a guitar alder mahogany.

NOTICE GLOBAL

bientt 3 years I've played on other species, I possde ltd viper baritone in a blackout, the difference with ltd is that the violin is better, the sound without amp is powerful and beautiful, esp compared to that I tried I found the particulirement cold. Basically a species with more heat. What I like least is the rosewood keys, but for a 200 esp! and vibrato is rotten, it will be a day when I have a Kahler money. The mods (microphone and adding paint to about 450 parts and labor duvre) are not finished after with the same handle ebony keys and a Kahler, it will be a killer. 650 I repeat that choice is an excellent guitar, I regret that there is no importer Kahler in France and I expect to come across a secondhand to finish my guitar. Warning of the premium esp the years 80/90, especially telecaster copies, a friend has one, it's not terrible, the electronic original was pretty lame. Even with good microphones, a conduteur handle and keys bne do not put more than 900. Do not give bad habits vintagieux speculators.
