PHOENIX BLACK METAL
PHOENIX BLACK METAL
BLACK SATIN
Hey ESP! I’ve got a Phoenix Black Metal and it is the best guitar I own! With that being said, where can I find the wiring specs for it? I want to buy the same pickup and mod my two vipers to only have one Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic in the bridge position like this but I don’t know how to wire it.
Any chances a “black metal” 6 string viper is coming out soon?
Well I’ve had this bad boy for over a week now, so here’s my more in depth review of it:
So far, it’s my most comfortable guitar i own whether i’m standing or sitting. The weight is very nice and isn’t back breaking, the frets were flawless, and the finish is super nice. It’s by far one of my favorite guitars I own.
now the bad,
the biggest issue was the electronics, when I first got it the battery was dead, or so I thought, so i didn’t care, shipping probably killed it, being too cold, etc etc, so I replaced it would last about 5 min before sounding like a dead battery again. I luckily know how to swap pickups, repair wiring etc, so I opened up the cavity, no cold solder joints, wiring was flawless, opened the output jack and there was cold solder joints, wood shavings and what looked to be glue? I don’t know why there would be glue, but after cleaning it up, resoldering the joints seems to be working just fine.
the nut was also not cut really well, but that only took about 5 min to do, so not a big deal.
after fixing these issues, it’s become again, one of my favorite guitars. I want to buy the Arctic white version some day.
