Richtig geile Gitarre !
Ich habe mich für die Version mit den Seymour Duncans entschieden und das war die richtige Wahl. Der JB am Steg hat ordentlich Druck und setzt sich im Band-Mix gut durch. Der Halspickup klingt warm und rund, gerade für Leads oder cleane Parts. Die Black Blue Fade Lackierung ist in echt wirklich schön, nicht zu aufdringlich, aber auffällig genug. Verarbeitung bei meinem Exemplar war sauber, keine scharfen Bundkanten oder Lackfehler.

four stars
I’ve been playing this ML 79 Floyd Duncans for a few weeks now. The Duncan pickups are definitely the highlight – tight low end, clear highs, and enough output for modern metal. The neck profile is comfortable, though it might feel a bit chunky if you’re used to super thin shred necks. Tuning stability is good once the Floyd is properly balanced. Only reason I’m not giving five stars: it’s not lightweight and the body shape takes a bit of getting used to when playing seated. Standing up with a strap, though, it feels perfectly balanced.
