Korean manufacturing probably, which is not derogatory in relation to the time I started on guitar .. (Around 90-91, to locate!)
22 frets, fixed bridge, with individual controls, which proved useful when reception of the object ..
2 P90 pickups, traditional three selector positions, volume, tone and that is enough.
race course longer than a standart stuck.
2 small flaws all the same mechanics, just worse than a Les Paul, but it's not a reference .. but hey, once granted, it looks to hold .. and Nut, in wicked black plastic, not very adjusted to change fFor remove some small noise

But overall, the finish is very accurate, even compared with more expensive guitars .. and more black with gold hardware, it flatly good face!
So for all 8

UTILIZATION

The handle takes a little getting used to, but due to its characteristics (length and spacing of the frets) otherwise it is quite pleasant, with a good grip, which is best seen pulling a bit unusual ..
access to acute is very good, knowing that the highs are necessarily less (acute) as a standart, it makes sense ..

level ergonomics, such as before, there must be, the head tends to dip, normal .. a good wide strap improves pretty good things, and some annoying little details, like the handle is longer, of course, is compensated by making the body back, so the right hand is next to the neck pickup. . as the selector! So it is easy to hang as long as the movements are a bit further ..

8, too, because we must quibble a bit

SOUNDS

I tried the bug in a ToneLab, itself connected to a small orange transistor (Crusch 30) my Marshall tube is under review, we will see later ..

what is right with that scratch is that there are few adjustments, but they are all interesting in light or in full, the tone knob has a real influence on the sound without distorting it and the two microphones is stand out, while remaining consistent

Clearly, with a bit of reverb, and reducing a little low, it has beautiful arpeggios well rounded, with a sepulchral side rather poignant. lowering the tone a bit, we can totally afford a walking bass on agreements jazzy ..

In full, attention to misunderstandings! (.. And hard of hearing) is not a metal scraper to clean with a distortion! why there are seven strings with EMG active, and the whole shebang .. Here, it is rather dirty in the field, the rocky, big riffs that stain!

with a slight crunch in the medium is a machine in Riffa by vibrating the piles of plates in the cupboard! with virile good solos (the bends of a tone and a half, have already deserve them!)

pushing the distortion, the grain is changing significantly, more and more rough, to very, very dirty. it's more like Neil Young (Hey Hey My My and others ..) to Dimebag, and in my case, all the better!

OVERALL OPINION

I have recently, but I did not let go!

To be objective, it seems to me a very good guitar in its field, but I have not tried them all and the ones I tried were more metal-oriented ..

So there, a good scratch for cavernous arpeggios, riffs and solos well couillus rough ..

I got it secondhand (almost new) for just over 300 Roros, so there's no reason to complain!

again this choice? in principle yes, but it is too new to say .. confirmation in 6 months!
