Amarok-6 BKRD Quilted Burst : Awesome value for money, proper workhorse, amazing sound quality

3 years ago

I've been actively using this guitar for about 1 month.

It's my 2nd guitar, so I'm still a novice in playing, with about 2 years of experience, so judging from this level.

Pros:

- sustain on a clean sound (with no compression, overdrive or anything) - I compared lots of big brands in the shops, and this one beats them in holding of the sound, probably because of the Neck-through design

- high signal to noise level - possibly due to insulation of the internal compartment with graphite paint (though not perfectly done) and of course active pickups, so length of the cord is not affecting much - I haven't formally measured it, but using a very good audio interface and comparison to my old Strat with singles - is a whole new world of sound perfection

- locking tuners, really hold the tuning well over days!

- good ergonomics in general

Cons:

- no vibrato bar, but you know it from the beginning

- minor cosmetic inaccuracies

Summary:

awesome value for money, proper workhorse, amazing sound quality.

P.S.

Had to do a few usual things at the beginning - setup strings height lower to the neck, tune neck anchor, polish frets. String scales (mensura) was already fine.
