UTILIZATION

I bought this guitar after having dreamed for years and after a long run, very long ... The model FP2 Floral me doing crack.
The handle is great for those familiar with the brand, fast, easy, perfectly tuned.
However after some time of use I find it much worse than my Jackson Soloist same range: I'm used to the neck-through, the gene set neck access key despite acute scalloped end of the round.
This is very personal, therefore subjective.
Ergonomics is otherwise perfect, rather light this guitar is not exhausting!

SOUNDS

Micro side nothing to say!
Do not think that this guitar is reserved for schreders!
We find very easily what its soft and rich in harmonics of the great Steve.
But it can give much more attack and even excellent crunch.
Clear his side a surprise: perfect for a well balanced and pure, but with some adjustments, it can generate sounds crystal clear ideal for funk and even a certain dullness sound of jazz.
One note: even with a fat sound of this guitar is breathtaking sonic accuracy!
A set of micro astounding versatility.
I use it for me with a Line 6 Flextone III and a single Vox wah.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for approximately 3 months.
Only the handle (and I say: only access to acute!) Puzzles me.
In value, this does not seem exaggerated, at a good bargain it remains in the same price range as its competitors, and do not forget the look "Signature Model Limited".
At the risk of surprising you, no I do again this choice!
A Jackson Soloist with premium Seymour Duncan pickups and neck-through remains the best choice for me (I own one).
On the other hand side look, what a slap, the pattern is sublime, the impeccable finishing ...
Favorite? No doubt! I love it ... but ...
