When i was browsing on the net, my eyes are catching something interesting. Yes indeed, it’s the photo of fender stratocaster that yngwie own. You will see this guitar was very old, there is much signature on it. You can watch in the photo that i found, i’m amazed to this guitar, although it kinda old, but it seem still good to play.

I don’t understand but it will hard to see the guitar be broke apart like that. What do you think? Are you same as me. It has play along with yngwie malmsteen as his carrer goes up. Until he is dedicated for title as “shreder of all time” because when he 19 years old, he can do almost what expert guitaris can do on his playing. The merged classical music style on his play, created the neo-classical music and amazed a lot of people at that time. I am fans of him, hope i will meet him someday,hehe.. See you on next post.

Ephipone SG special review

Posted on 9:19 PM No Comments
Label:
This time review came from ephipone product. This SG style body guitar has a feature like 2 humbucker, one tone and also one volume control. The 3 way selector, tune-O-matic bridges make it really easy to change strings. The guitar has no whammy bar but it no problem anyway especially for me who not used it a lot. This guitar can play good at old rock music such as AC/DC, slayer, white zombie and more. The excelent clean tone output will boost your playing, i guess. When you look up to this guitar, you will see that the paint is very smooth, Just like that in the expensive car. That will be one plus point to buy this stuff.

I think This guitar has a great crunch and can do anything from blues, to heavy metal. The sound is very rich, and it’s brighter than a lot of guitar. Oh and not forget, it has 22 frets with a rosewood fretboard. I can tell it very nice guitar, i don’t mean to promote it but, try it your own way to prove the power of this guitar. More review will available shortly.

CORT VX-2V review

Posted on 9:14 PM No Comments
Label:

This opportunity i want to review a guitar made in my own country that is indonesia. This cort VX-2V was built in indonesia. This guitar use EMG-HZ H4’s as the pick ups. This pick-up have a high output charateristic sound and low noise level. The tone from it agathis body are thick and solid. The guitar also fell very light even thought it is fairly thick. The floyd rose system in this guitar is good, it holds it’s tuning and have smoot movement. This guitar has a very simple control setup that is 1 master volume, 1 master tone, and 3 way toggle. I think the body of this guitar resembles that of a jackson Randy Rhoads guitar, althought i think the large wing is slightly longer than that of jackson. This guitar came with a good gig bag and all the needed tools along with a short, low quality cable, good for using with tuner.

The guitar does what the need to play metal music. With just an overdrive pedal and a simple amp, you can rock your room like in the stage. The sound from this guitar is perfect, high gain, with a lot of overdrive. This guitar is perfect for a high gain music like thrash metal, rock and more. The clean sound is very a low noise. This low end guitar has all needed to play music like iron maiden and more. Hehe i want so buy it someday. Yeah maybe. I will update for more review later.
