Hey all! Finally, after a long time of suffering and looking out through the windows for the delivery car, I got my beast! Even though I don't have any sound samples (which can actually happen some time) I'm going to bring you a pretty much detailed describtion of this beauty.
Sound:
Nothing I've ever played compares to this guitar. Yes, I haven't played a lot of them, since we have really few shops out here in Poland, but I can say it's truly outstanding, compared to all the Deans, Jacksons, Ibanezes and Schecters I've had a pleasure to taste (yeah, taste
) in person. It has pretty much overcome my expectations and I must say I'm glad I decided to go with this axe. Low articulation is really good, as well as the high notes can become "glassy" simply by playing with the volume and pickup dividing/switching. I'm planning to record the guitar track for my first song ever, so it's gonna probably come here as soon as I get to finish it . With a video, of course! Nazgul pickup works flawlessly with all the death genres, starting from the very technical Spawn of Possession alike riffage, ending on bodom-like melodies. Suits really well to what I play to and I find it really aggresive. Sentient, on the other hand, is really deep and with a little help of JamUp offers an immerse acoustic-like experience. I don't play any stuff different than that, so I won't say anything about crunch or lighter, old-school sounds. To everybody who's been wondering about the lead stuff, if it fits there well - you'll meet your answer as soon as I finish recording my song. For now I can say a big YES, but I'm not sure if the size of yes is not going to increase .
Design:
Personally, I really find it beautiful. I've taken some close-ups as well as some further photos, so you can say at your own how it looks.
Playability:
So comfortable! Compared to the Jacksons I owned (JS, Slat) and to any Dean/Schecter I've ever played, this thing is just a piece of paper. I really dig the feel of the neck, which feels great whenever I grab it and start playing. The scale is, as I said in some previous post, just ideal to me, as I have somewhat longer than normally fingers (ladies...). What else can I say? I love it. The deeper, bottom horn is just the best thing that could happen to me and my hand. It simply grants a lot of space in the very end of the fretboard and makes playing solos much, much more pleasurable.
Overall:
Best axe I've ever played. Sounds amazing, plays smoothly, screams louder than souls of the banished and growls lower and sharper than the choir made of Behemoth, Leviathan and Lucifer themselves, straight from the depths of hell. What else can I say? I AM AMAZED.
