«  guitar a bit expensive for what it gives ... »

Published on 10/13/11 at 12:40
it is a made in japan (stamped "Team J Craft" on the back of the head to say that it was made by the team from Japan).
the bridge, everyone he knows especially the fans of Satch, EDGE is one that is simpler and more efficient ...
we have 22 frets on the beautiful and the key is the Bishop rosewood with beautiful abalone benchmarks!
for controls, was, 1 volume, 1 tone and a 3-position selector.
Note that the volume and tone are splitables with a little more, well, the key is for single splitter microphones, and against the split on the volume, acts as a filter to keep the treble low volume, and indeed we find this tip on the vox satchurator.

UTILIZATION

the handle is very comfortable in the style fender stratocaster.
the key is blackened and with the benchmarks in abalone, cast here!
ergonomics on this guitar is thought the guitar body is rather thin and rounded, and it remains on the thigh when playing seated.
access to acute is very good, we walk easily on the handle which calls for a particular game, pirouettes and blues techniques and is very comfortable, regardless of whether one is in the treble or bass.
for sound, sounds that are obtained are those that can be heard at joe at the moment, tear that sounds saturated and clean sounds accurate enough and slamming.

SOUNDS

Apart from the sounds clear and still, I did not find the sounds that make me want to stay here to play again and again ...
the issue is not too bad in the clear; ofSuite we feel that it is the pickups that give the sound and not the violin, it was clear arpeggios, a slamming in the notes, but it is far from a with his personality ...
for the blues, it's good to try, but what comes out is far from the blues!
we obtain a sound loaded "fuzz" and there, it gets tiring quickly ...
move on to more saturated mode, and there is better, it was a more accurate, but devoid of serious presence; a sound that hard but does not know how it finally!
here can be useful on the day you want to redo your home upholstery, you plug in your Marshall stack all the way into the room and you play anything: result, tapestry falls alone! ah! ah!
No, joking aside, it really means ... more

OVERALL OPINION

I have tried just a quarter of an hour so I was disappointed that "signature"!
BOF! that's the only word that could sum up in itself made me feel that this guitar ...
frankly, for € 1790, I find it not worth it!
and causes!
It is almost as much as a gibson les paul standard premium traditionnal I tried one week earlier in the same store, but satriani is far from reaching his ankle, and I'm talking in terms of sound, Consistency of price in relation to wood, mounted microphones and grain it gives off, I sincerely believe it is not worth more than € 1,300 and over again, I'm nice ...
this guitar (I'm talking about JS1200CA) was not in his personality, we find this type of sound on the Ibanez RG made in japan, it's always clear and slamming into the fuzz on his neck pickup saturated, after which we like it or not ...
but I think it's a great scam to sell a guitar with basswood that price and I think also that they could have done better finish issue and it does not relieve, for me, the impression a guitar "high game", I really feel like a guitar "any" in the hands ...
but it has some advantages not to be neglected;
-A clear, precise and slamming that can be useful when using a phaser, flanger or playing in arpeggios (which is often the father satch in these compounds of the first album, after which he was only the shadow of himself).
A handle-very comfortable and very inviting to play the blues, but the sound is not up ...
and finally summarize my long monologue, I would say that we should try this guitar without a-priori and think 2 times before slamming the wallet, if you should question his, go for it!
if you think and find the les paul is pleasant to your ears, run away! (Ah ah!)
well that's a guitar that has not given me want to dwell on the play ...
damage, she seemed nice .... yes, she "seemed ".... soon for another! ah! ah!
